Astra Starter Templates
We have a collection of over 350 templates that we use as a basis to start our website projects.
The art of choosing a template
Templates can play a big role in giving the style and mood for a project.
Or.. If you simply use the bare basic fonts and buttons, then they may play a less important role.
You will try to stick close to the template as possible, so it’s important to choose one that is easy to adapt.
If you pick one that is too creative, you will find that it may be hard to adapt to the content you have.
Template Prototyping
Templates can be easily installed and set up so that you and the client can have a play around before. See template prototyping.
Choosing a template
Template choice is a major influence of the look because the buttons, fonts, and colors are set there—but they can be altered.
Clients are asked to choose some template to give us a clue into their tastes.
However, we are free to take elements from their choice and pick a template of our own.
Templates can be modified through settings
If you are going to modify a template, try to stick to the preset font pairs and color guides that come with each template.
