Pages: Template Page#

Guides template page design for two distinct use cases: (1) Programmatic SEO — template + data = scale; (2) User-facing templates — users browse, select, and use templates to generate their own content (CMS, images, websites, vibe coding). See programmatic-seo for the scale framework. This skill covers template aggregation pages (gallery, hub) and template detail pages (individual template with "use" flow).

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Core Function: Users Use Templates to Generate Content#

Beyond SEO, template pages enable direct use: users select a template and generate their own content. Common patterns:

DomainFlowExamplesCMSBrowse templates → Select → Create page/post from templateWordPress themes, Webflow templates, Notion templatesDesign / ImagesBrowse → Preview → Customize in editorCanva (Customize this template), Figma (Duplicate to your drafts)Website buildersBrowse → Select → Customize (colors, fonts, content) → DeployVibeCatalog, Lovable, Bolt.new, v0; dashboard, landing page, SaaS templatesVibe codingBrowse UI themes → Copy style instructions → Add to AI prompt → Generateuitovibe (copy instructions, paste into Bolt/Lovable/Cursor prompt)

Key CTA: "Use this template," "Customize this template," "Copy to editor," "Get this template," "Start with this."

Template Aggregation Page (Gallery / Hub)#

SectionPurposeHeadline"Templates for [category]" or "Browse [X] templates"Filters / CategoriesBy type (dashboard, landing page, resume), platform (Bolt, Lovable, Next.js), use caseTemplate cardsThumbnail, name, short description, "Use" or "Preview" CTA; grid or listSearchBy keyword, tagSocial proof"X templates," "Used by Y users," ratingsCTAPrimary action (Browse, Get started, Sign up to use)

Reference: Canva organizes by 50+ design types (Docs, Presentations, Logos, Instagram Posts, etc.); Figma offers 300+ templates; VibeCatalog by project type (dashboards, landing pages). See card for template card structure and grid layout.

Template Detail Page (Individual Template)#

SectionPurposeHeroTemplate name, one-line benefit; primary CTA: "Use this template" / "Customize" / "Copy"****PreviewLive preview, screenshot, or interactive demo; multiple views (desktop, mobile)DescriptionWhat it does, who it's for, what's includedFeatures / What's includedComponents, sections, customization options (colors, fonts, layouts)How to useSteps: Copy → Paste in editor / Open in [tool] → CustomizePlatform compatibilityBolt, Lovable, v0, Next.js, React, etc.FAQ"Can I use commercially?", "Do I get source code?", "How do I customize?"Related templatesInternal links to similar templates

Vibe coding pattern (uitovibe, VibeCatalog): Template = style instructions or full code; user copies instructions into AI prompt or downloads/clones to customize. CTA: "Copy instructions," "Add to prompt," "Get template."

Template + Programmatic SEO#

When templates are generated at scale from data (location pages, integration pages, comparison pages), use programmatic-seo framework:

SectionPurposeData SlotIntroH1, intro; matches intent{entity_name}, {context}Evidence blockTables, lists, verified data; avoids thin content{data_table}, {list_items}DecisionRecommendation, next steps{recommendation}FAQSchema-friendly Q&A{faq_items}CTAConversion{cta_destination}

See programmatic-seo for data, automation, pitfalls. When programmatic pages have conversion goals, apply landing-page-generator principles.

---

Template + Landing Page (Conversion-Focused Programmatic)#

When programmatic pages drive signup/lead capture (e.g., "[Product] for [City]" LPs), apply landing page structure to the template: Stop the scroll → Earn trust → Explain value → Remove doubt → Make the ask. See landing-page-generator.

Output Format#

• Page type (aggregation vs detail)
• Sections (per type above)
• Primary CTA ("Use this template," "Customize," "Copy instructions")
• User flow (browse → preview → use → customize)
• Programmatic alignment (if template + data scale)
• Schema (ItemList for aggregation; CreativeWork, SoftwareApplication for detail)
