Astra provides a stunning library of pre-built templates. Instead of designing a website from scratch ,you can import Starter Templates (formerly Astra Starter Sites) with few clicks and customize them in your own way.

Starter Templates are available with all page-builders, including our recommended page-builder, Elementor.

Starter Templates library has a number of templates, some are FREE (without any tag) while some are marked with AGENCY tag.

FREE and AGENCY Starter Templates

• Templates without any tag ( Free Starter Templates )
• Templates with tag - AGENCY ( Premium Starter Templates )

Templates Without Any Tag (Free Starter Templates)

Starter Templates that do not have any tag are available for free. These templates are created with free versions of page builders (Elementor, Beaver Builder, Brizy) and free external plugins.

The Starter Templates plugin is available in free as well as premium versions.

Here is how you can install a free version of this plugin:

Step 1 - From your WordPress dashboard, visit Plugins > Add New and search for a plugin 'Starter Templates'.

Step 2 - Choose to install the plugin and activate it.
Step 3 - Find plugin settings under Appearance > Starter Templates.

Import a Starter Template

The Starter Templates plugin allows importing the entire site and as well as single-page templates. Sometimes you might have a website with some content on it already, like pages, posts, customizer settings, etc.

Importing Single Page Template will not affect anything on your website. This will create a new page as a draft in the page list. So even if you import a number of pages, it will not affect your existing website.

Importing Complete Site Template on the existing site that already has content, might affect the look of the site. Newly imported content will get mixed with the existing one and it will display unexpected results.

While importing a complete site, a popup displays few options. In case you want to skip any of the parts of the site you can choose options accordingly.

We recommend taking a backup of your existing website before making any major changes. It's easy and takes only a few minutes.
