About TemplateCat

TemplateCat is your ultimate mobile-first hub for discovering and comparing high-quality website templates across the most popular design platforms.

It’s designed for freelancers, agencies, and entrepreneurs who need to quickly find the perfect starting point for client projects or personal sites without compromising on professional design quality. The platform’s core value is saving you significant time and effort by offering a vast, curated library of templates that you can browse by specific categories, styles, and features, all while previewing responsive behavior and comparing associated platform costs directly on the page. With plans to expand to over 10,000 templates including from Figma Sites and Readymag, TemplateCat is evolving into the most comprehensive template directory, putting a world of design inspiration and practical starting points right at your fingertips.

Features of TemplateCat

Curated, High-Quality Template Library

TemplateCat doesn’t just aggregate any template. It meticulously selects from leading website builders like Framer, Webflow, and Squarespace, platforms known for employing professional designers. This ensures every template you browse meets a high standard of modern design, clean code, and usability, giving you a reliable and professional foundation for any project right from the start.

Advanced Filtering by Categories, Styles & Features

Navigate a massive library with precision using TemplateCat’s powerful filtering system. With over 200 categories, 27 distinct styles, and 38 specific features, you can drill down to find exactly what you need. Whether searching for a "dentist" website, a "minimalist" portfolio, or a template with "dark mode," the app-centric interface makes refining your search fast and intuitive on any device.

On-Page Responsive Preview & Device Switching

See exactly how a template will look and function before you commit. TemplateCat’s integrated preview lets you view templates directly on the platform and seamlessly switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views. This mobile-first preview capability is crucial for ensuring your chosen design delivers a flawless user experience across all screen sizes from the very beginning.

Integrated Website Builder Pricing Comparison

Eliminate surprise costs by making informed decisions. TemplateCat clearly lists the pricing for each template’s native platform (e.g., Framer, Webflow) directly on the preview page. This allows you to instantly compare not just the design, but also the ongoing cost of using the template, helping you balance aesthetic goals with project budget constraints efficiently.
