Templates
WebStadia CMS uses templates to control the look and feel of your blog. Choose a built-in template or provide your own.
Built-in Templates

- Complete the setup
Custom Templates
If you need a unique design, you can use a custom template:
From a URL
- During setup, choose Custom Template
- Enter the URL of an existing website you want to use as a base
- WebStadia will scrape the page structure and generate a template
- Review and customize as needed
From File Upload
- Upload your own HTML template files
- WebStadia maps your template structure to CMS content
- Posts and pages render using your custom layout
Template Structure
Templates define how your CMS content is displayed:
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Homepage | Blog feed listing with featured posts |
| Post page | Individual blog post layout |
| Page layout | Static page layout |
| Category page | Posts filtered by category |
| Navigation | Site header and menu |
| Footer | Site footer |
Customization
After selecting a template, you can customize:
- Blog name — displayed in the header/title
- Custom CSS — add your own styles to override template defaults
- Featured posts — choose which posts appear prominently
tip
If the built-in templates don't fit your needs, start with one and add custom CSS to adjust the design without building from scratch.
