About TemplateCat

Alright, let's cut the fluff. You know that soul-crushing moment when you need to find a fire website template for a client, but you have to play musical chairs with Framer, Webflow, and Squarespace? Opening a zillion tabs, trying to remember which platform had that perfect minimalist dentist template? Yeah, we've all been there. It's a major vibe killer. Enter TemplateCat (and no, it's not a furry assistant—it stands for "templates by categories," but a cat logo is way cooler). This is your new digital bestie for template hunting. Created by a designer who got fed up with the platform-hopping chaos, TemplateCat is a massive, searchable database that aggregates professionally designed templates from all the major players in one slick spot. Think of it as the "Spotify Discover Weekly" for website templates. It's built for freelancers, agency folks, and anyone who needs to find and compare high-quality starting points for client work without losing their damn mind. The value prop is simple: stop wasting hours jumping between sites. Get inspired, compare options, see pricing, and make a decision—all from a single, clutter-free dashboard. Your sanity will thank you.

Features of TemplateCat

Massive Curated Template Library

We're talking a mega-collection pulled from the platforms that actually hire pro designers (so you won't find any cringe, MySpace-era junk here). Right now, we've got the goods from Framer, Webflow, and Squarespace, with plans to add Figma Sites and Readymag soon. The goal? To amass over 10,000 top-tier templates. It's like having a backstage pass to every template marketplace without needing the backstage passes.

Smart Filtering by Categories, Styles & Features

Forget endless, meaningless scrolling. With over 200 categories, 27 styles (like 'minimalist' or 'brutalist'), and 38 specific features (think 'dark mode' or 'booking form'), you can laser-target exactly what you need. Looking for a 'portfolio' template that's also 'bold' and has a 'contact form'? Boom, filtered. It turns the overwhelming sea of options into a manageable puddle you can actually navigate.

Live On-Page Preview & Device Switching

No more clicking through to a builder's site just to see a basic preview. TemplateCat lets you check out a live, interactive preview of the template right on the page. Even better, you can instantly switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views to see how it really responds. It's the ultimate "try before you buy" experience without any commitment.

Built-in Website Builder Pricing Intel

This is the secret sauce for freelancers. Every template listing clearly shows the pricing of the website builder it's from. You'll see both the starting price (often $0 for the template itself) and the potential full cost to use it. This makes client proposals and budget conversations way easier because you can compare costs across platforms at a glance, no extra research needed.

Use Cases of TemplateCat

The Freelancer Crushing Client Projects

You're a solo designer/developer and a client just asked for three different concepts for their new eco-store by... tomorrow. Instead of panicking and opening 50 browser tabs, you hit TemplateCat. Filter by 'E-commerce' + 'Sustainable' style, instantly preview a shortlist, compare Webflow vs. Squarespace costs for your client's budget, and present polished options in record time. Client thinks you're a wizard.

The Agency Team Needing Consistent Inspiration

Your design team starts every new project with a mood board and template ideas. Instead of everyone scavenging the internet separately and sharing messy links in Slack, you have a single, unified source of truth. Bookmark a shared TemplateCat collection for 'FinTech' or 'Healthcare' projects. It streamlines your creative process and keeps the whole team on the same, aesthetically dope page.

The Entrepreneur Building Their Own Brand

You're launching your own side-hustle as a life coach. You need a pro website, but you're not a designer and can't afford to hire one. You browse TemplateCat by 'Coaching' category and 'Friendly' style, find a stunning Framer template that fits your vibe, and see exactly what it'll cost to get it live. It demystifies the whole process and gives you confidence you're choosing a legit starting point.

The Developer Scoping Project Complexity

You're a dev who gets handed design mockups. Before you agree to a project, you can use TemplateCat to quickly find similar templates to gauge the build complexity. See if it's a common Squarespace layout or a custom Webflow interaction. The previews and platform info help you estimate timelines and spot potential technical headaches before you even start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TemplateCat really free?

Heck yes, it's 100% free to use! We don't charge you to browse, search, filter, or preview the thousands of templates in our database. Our goal is to save you time and be the best discovery tool out there. The costs you see listed are from the website builders themselves (like Framer or Webflow) when you decide to use a template.

How often do you add new templates?

We're constantly on the prowl for the freshest, most fire templates from our partner platforms. As new templates drop on Framer, Webflow, and Squarespace, they get scooped up and added to TemplateCat. Our library is always growing, and with plans to add more platforms, you'll never run out of new inspo.

Can I filter templates by price?

Right now, you can see the pricing for each template's platform clearly listed on its card. A super-requested feature is a filter for specific price ranges (like "show me only templates from builders with plans under $20/month"), and guess what? That's coming soon! We're building it to make cost comparison even more effortless.

Do I buy the template directly from TemplateCat?

Nope, we're not a marketplace. Think of us as the ultimate search engine and showroom. When you find "The One," you click the "Use" button, which will take you directly to that template's page on its original platform (like Framer's site). You purchase or start your free trial there. We just make the finding part infinitely better.
