Editorial website templates
Editorial websites for museums, publishers, journals and studios that want to be read, not skimmed. Big serif type, slow reveals and one interaction per page (brushing sandstone off a fossil, fanning a shelf of books, flying into clouds to enter a collection) set the pace for long reading.
Most are a single HTML file with the typography, motion and reading layout done, so the work is your words and images. The prompt behind each is included, written to keep the editorial voice when you change the subject.
Editorial templates: your questions
What do you get with an Editorial website template?
A live preview of the finished site, the exact prompt that built it, and, where the design sells it, the complete source code. Some sources here are a single HTML file you open in a browser; the rest are standard projects that run with npm. Buy a single design, or unlock every design in the store with All-Access.
Which Editorial template should I start with?
Start with the one whose first screen is closest to the feeling you want, then make it yours. Good places to start: Cairn (A glass card on a dusky coast above a glowing planet rim, and a process that stacks a cairn one stone at a time), Altiva Energy (Wipe the mist off snowy peaks with your pointer while an altitude gauge climbs to the summit as you scroll) and Cumulus (The sky starts as a grey storm and your pointer burns through it to golden sunset light).
Is there a free Editorial website template?
Yes: the prompt for KŌDO is free once you sign in. Copy it into your AI and see what it builds before you buy anything. The source code is never free.
Can I use these Editorial templates for client websites?
Yes. Every purchase includes a commercial licence: use it in your own projects and in work you deliver to clients, including paid client work, change and rebrand it, and publish the result with no credit needed. What you can't do is resell, share or republish the prompt or the source files themselves.
Do I need to know how to code?
You don't need to code to start. Paste the prompt into a coding agent and it writes the code; to change the words, colours or images, ask it in plain English. The source runs on your computer with a couple of standard commands, listed on each design's page.
