Question 1

What are ElmapiCMS frontend templates?

Accepted Answer

ElmapiCMS frontend templates are production-ready Next.js, Nuxt, and Astro starters. Each template pairs with an importable Elmapi project package that includes collections, fields, and demo content so you can clone a working site instead of starting from an empty schema.

Question 2

Which frameworks do the templates support?

Accepted Answer

Templates ship for Next.js, Nuxt, and Astro. Some templates target one framework. Others, such as Basic Starters and Documentation, ship variants for all three.

Question 3

Do templates include authentication?

Accepted Answer

Templates that need member, customer, or learner access use Elmapi Authentication. Examples include Northline Academy and Sable Goods. Starters also show the auth contract patterns you can copy into your app.

Question 4

How do I use an ElmapiCMS template?

Accepted Answer

After you buy ElmapiCMS, clone the private templates GitHub repo and copy the template folder you want. In ElmapiCMS, click + New Project, choose Import from file, select the template’s project zip from the elmapi folder, then Create Project. Set ELMAPI_BASE_URL, ELMAPI_PROJECT_ID, and ELMAPI_API_KEY from Project Settings → API Access, then run the app. Live demos are available for most templates so you can preview first.

Question 5

Are new templates added over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The catalog grows every week with new use cases such as agency sites, memberships, storefronts, SaaS marketing, restaurants, and docs. Check the Templates page for the latest list.

Question 6

Do I need an ElmapiCMS license to use the templates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Templates are built for ElmapiCMS 4.0 and ship in a private GitHub repo that buyers can access after purchase. You also need a licensed ElmapiCMS install to import the project package and serve content through the API. Live demos help you evaluate the stack before you buy.
