Create shareable or sellable website templates

Becky Gary
Hello, I created through Canva a template to upload and tweak of my products into a website to give it a different look and feel. My goal is to offer the template for purchase in my store. I wanted to share with you what I was able to do with the options we have for website on Beacons. It would be awesome if we could use Canva website templates and be able to upload them to Beacons website creator. Attaching link to my demo store. I can also provide the template I have created in Canva, if interested

Website Template Sharing
K
Hello, I’d love to suggest a feature that would allow me to create websites and share templates or transfer ownership to others. Thank you!

Hi Jacob, thanks for considering my suggestion. Here are the answers to your questions:
- I’d like an easy way to share templates with clients, so they can use and edit them. Features like cloning templates, adding branding, and setting permissions would be helpful. A preview option before sharing would also be great.
- This is important for me as a freelancer. I like to build the website on my end first and then transfer the template to the client once it’s ready. It makes the process easier for both me and the client.
- I use Squarespace and Systeme.io. Both are easy to use, allows customization and make sharing templates simple.

Hiya K, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific features would you like to see in the template sharing functionality?
- How important is the ability to transfer ownership of a website template to your workflow?
- Are there any particular platforms or services you currently use for website templates that you find effective?

Great to hear your perspective, Becky Gary! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you provide more details about the specific features of the Canva template that you would like to see implemented in Beacons?
- Are there any limitations in the current Beacons website creator that prompted you to use Canva for your template?
- Would you be open to sharing the Canva template you created for us to better understand your needs?

Jacob Choi-Durham Here is link of what I have been tweaking and playing with.
I do like how with Canva it is fully customizable. More Font choices, colors , different frame sizes and along with being able to add in elements. INcluding movement. I did do a mixture of your website and adding my Canva templates. I have been mostly playing around with it. My goal is sell digital products then also have a Shopify store with apparel.
But here is also a short video of another template that was created in Canva for a website that I believe was used in Stan. Actually it will not let me attach the short video. I will try to send that by email.
