Docs Getting started
Templates
Four starting points. Your agent changes the rest.
Every site starts from a template. Pick one with --template when you create the site:
npx hettie new my-site --template marketing
| Template | What you get | Content types |
|---|---|---|
blog (default) | A blog with posts, tags, categories, an RSS feed and search. | Posts, pages |
marketing | A landing page, pricing and features. | Pages |
portfolio | Projects with images, an about page and contact. | Projects, pages |
starter | One page and the editor, for building your own design. | Posts, pages |
What every template includes
- The editor, sign-in and team accounts
- Built-in analytics with no cookies
- Cards for posts: callout, button and bookmark
- Menus you can edit without code
- Sitemap, robots.txt and share cards for search and social
- Edge caching that refreshes when you publish
Blog designs
The blog template has two designs you can switch between in the editor, under Settings › Design & branding: Hettie (sans-serif, posts in a grid) and Journal (serif, posts in a list). See Design and branding.
A template is just a starting point. Once it's in your folder, it's your code. Ask your agent to change anything.
