# Browse and preview templates

Find a template by category, type, style or palette, preview it live, and read its pages and highlights before you start.

The gallery lives at [/templates](https://www.uova.com/templates). It opens on **Popular Designs**, a hand-ordered selection. Switch to **All Templates** to see everything the gallery lists.

## Browse

1. **Open the gallery** Go to /templates. The search box under the heading reads "Search by industry, style, or keyword". The default view is **Popular Designs**.
2. **Pick a view** In the sidebar, **Popular Designs** and **All Templates** each show a count. Cards load as you scroll.
3. **Pick a category** The **Category** buttons are All, Portfolio, Business, SaaS, Ecommerce, Restaurant, Hospitality, Personal, Architecture, Technology, Sports, Health, Education and Entertainment. Each shows a count.
4. **Narrow it down** Use **Editor-ready only**, the **Type**, **Style** and **Palette** checkboxes, and the sort menu.
5. **Hover a card** A card plays a short preview when you hover. It always shows the template name, its category and a label: **Editor-ready**, or **Live checkout** on the store templates.
6. **Open the template page** Click the card to see the live preview, pages and highlights.

> **Note:** Some categories can be empty. SaaS and Education had no listed templates on 2026-10-10, and some templates carry categories that are not in the sidebar, such as Events, Fitness, Services and Beauty. Those appear under **All** or in search.

## Filters and sorting

| Control | Options |
| --- | --- |
| Editor-ready only | Shows only templates carrying the Editor-ready label |
| Type | Online Store, Portfolio, Services, Blog, Scheduling, One Page, Courses |
| Style | Dark, Light, Editorial, Minimal, Bold, Animated |
| Palette | Warm tones, Cool blue, Cream, Earth tones, Bold accent |
| Sort | Sort: Recommended, Sort: Newest, Sort: A–Z |
| Search | Matches name, description, category and tags |

- Within Type, Style or Palette, checking several boxes shows templates that match any of them. Different groups combine, so a template must satisfy each group you use.
- Type, Style and Palette are matched against each template's tags and light or dark mode, so treat them as a guide.
- Category and filters apply inside the view you are on. To see everything in a category, switch to **All Templates**. Typing a search always searches the whole gallery, even from **Popular Designs**.
- **Sort: Newest** keeps the same order as **Sort: Recommended**. **Sort: A–Z** orders by name.
- If nothing matches, the page says "No templates match your filters." and offers **Clear all filters**.
- At 1,023 pixels of screen width or less, the sidebar moves behind a **Filters** button. Above that width a toggle switches the grid between 3 columns and 2, and your choice is remembered in the browser.

Links with `?category=`, `?industry=` or `?q=` open the **All Templates** view with that filter applied. `?category=` takes one of the category names above. `?industry=` takes restaurants, saas, agencies, portfolios, coaches, ecommerce, events or realestate, and opens the closest category.

## The template page

Each template has its own page at `/templates/<name>`. On a desktop screen it shows a live preview in a frame. At 768 pixels wide or narrower it shows a static image instead.

- **Use Template** (or **Create your own** for templates the editor cannot open) and **Preview** buttons. **Preview** opens a full-screen preview with a **Back** button and **Use & Edit**, or **Generate yours in this style** where the editor cannot open the template.
- Preview frame controls: **Desktop preview**, **Tablet preview** and **Mobile preview** width buttons, a page menu on multi-page templates, **Reload preview** and **Open preview in a new tab**.
- Key Highlights, which show the template's first four features, and a **Style + tags** list.
- A **Pages** strip. Choosing a page scrolls back to the preview and opens that page.
- Tabs for **Overview**, **Features** and **FAQ**.
- A **Similar templates** row of three, with a **See all in** link to the category.
- After you scroll down, a bar slides up with **Preview** and **Use Template**.

A page at [/templates/featured](https://www.uova.com/templates/featured) shows nine hand-picked templates.

## Common questions

**Why does the gallery not show every template?**

Some templates are unlisted. Unlisted templates still open at their own address if you have the link.

**What does Editor-ready mean?**

The template can be opened in the editor as your own copy. A template the editor cannot open shows **Create your own** on its page instead of **Use Template**.

**Can I filter for a free template?**

There is no per-template price and no price filter. Each template page's FAQ tab states that templates are free to use with any UOVA project.
