Blocksy Starter Sites give you a ready-made foundation for building a new website, including pre-designed pages, layouts and content that you can customise to match your project.
Starter Sites are available for supported builders such as Gutenberg and Elementor, with each template showing the builders and plugins it supports before you begin the import.
Before you begin
We recommend importing a Starter Site on a fresh WordPress installation. If you are importing it into an existing website, create a complete backup first.
Importing a Starter Site
Starter Sites are available through the Blocksy Dashboard once the Blocksy Companion plugin is installed and activated.
- From your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to Blocksy → Starter Sites.
- Browse the available Starter Sites and choose the design you would like to use.
- Click Import to start the installation wizard.
- If the Starter Site supports multiple builders, select the version you want to import.
- Choose whether you want the importer to create and activate a Blocksy child theme.
- Review the plugins required by the Starter Site and select the ones you want to install.
- Choose which parts of the Starter Site you want to import, then start the import process.
