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.

Two Template Page Types

Type Purpose Examples

Template aggregation page Gallery, hub, category; list templates for browse and filter Canva /templates, Figma templates, VibeCatalog /templates, uitovibe theme gallery

Template detail page Individual template; preview, description, "Use this template" CTA Single template page; user clicks to copy, customize, or open in editor

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:

Domain Flow Examples

CMS Browse templates → Select → Create page/post from template WordPress themes, Webflow templates, Notion templates

Design / Images Browse → Preview → Customize in editor Canva (Customize this template), Figma (Duplicate to your drafts)

Website builders Browse → Select → Customize (colors, fonts, content) → Deploy VibeCatalog, Lovable, Bolt.new, v0; dashboard, landing page, SaaS templates

Vibe coding Browse UI themes → Copy style instructions → Add to AI prompt → Generate uitovibe (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)

Section Purpose

Headline "Templates for [category]" or "Browse [X] templates"

Filters / Categories By type (dashboard, landing page, resume), platform (Bolt, Lovable, Next.js), use case

Template cards Thumbnail, name, short description, "Use" or "Preview" CTA; grid or list

Search By keyword, tag

Social proof "X templates," "Used by Y users," ratings

CTA Primary 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)

Section Purpose

Hero Template name, one-line benefit; primary CTA: "Use this template" / "Customize" / "Copy"

Preview Live preview, screenshot, or interactive demo; multiple views (desktop, mobile)

Description What it does, who it's for, what's included

Features / What's included Components, sections, customization options (colors, fonts, layouts)

How to use Steps: Copy → Paste in editor / Open in [tool] → Customize

Platform compatibility Bolt, Lovable, v0, Next.js, React, etc.

FAQ "Can I use commercially?", "Do I get source code?", "How do I customize?"

Related templates Internal 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:

Section Purpose Data Slot

Intro H1, intro; matches intent {entity_name} , {context}

Evidence block Tables, lists, verified data; avoids thin content {data_table} , {list_items}

Decision Recommendation, next steps {recommendation}

FAQ Schema-friendly Q&A {faq_items}

CTA Conversion {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.

Common Template Patterns by Domain

Domain Aggregation Detail Use Flow

Design (Canva, Figma) Category browse, filters Preview, "Customize" Open in editor, drag-and-drop

Vibe coding (uitovibe, VibeCatalog) Theme gallery, by style Copy instructions, "Add to prompt" Paste into Bolt/Lovable/Cursor

Website (Lovable, Bolt, v0) By project type Live demo, "Use template" Clone, customize, deploy

CMS By content type Preview, "Create from template" New page/post from template

Programmatic SEO N/A (data-driven) Output pages from template + data Informational; CTA to product

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)
