Kadence offers two powerful options for quickly launching your website: AI Powered Templates and Pre-Designed Templates. Both are excellent choices, and your preference will depend on your specific needs and desired level of customization from the outset. You can always re-run the starter template wizard and import a new template, allowing you to experiment with both options.
AI Powered Templates
AI Powered Templates leverage artificial intelligence to generate a more personalized and near-launch-ready website.
- Flexible Layouts & Styles: These templates offer a foundational layout that is less opinionated than the pre-designed options, providing a flexible starting point.
- AI-Generated Content: A key differentiator is that all text content is generated by AI. This content is tailored based on an “AI profile” you set up for your site, which considers crucial information like your website’s goals, industry, and target audience.
- AI-Selected or Manual Images: Images are intelligently selected based on your AI profile, further enhancing the relevance of the initial design. You also have the flexibility to manually select your own images.
- Pre-Import Customization: Before importing, you have full control over customizing colors and fonts. This allows you to preview exactly how your chosen styles will look on your site.
- Significantly Closer to Launch-Ready: By generating both text and suggesting images based on your site’s profile, these templates bring your website much closer to a publishable state immediately after the AI wizard is completed.
Pre-Designed Templates
Pre-Designed Templates are professionally crafted layouts created for hypothetical businesses across various industries.
- Professionally Designed for Specific Industries: These templates are meticulously designed with specific business types in mind, offering a cohesive and polished look from the start.
- More Opinionated Designs & Layouts: Due to their professional design for specific niches, these templates have more defined and opinionated designs compared to the AI-generated layouts.
- Extensive Selection: You can choose from a large library of over 80 different pre-designed layouts, providing ample options to find a design that resonates with your vision.
- Pre-Import Customization: Similar to AI Powered templates, you can control and preview colors and fonts before importing the template, ensuring it aligns with your aesthetic.
- Customizable to Your Liking: While more opinionated, these templates are fully customizable. You can easily adjust elements to match your brand and preferences.
Which Route to Choose?
- Choose AI Powered if: You want a more personalized starting point with AI-generated content and imagery that gets you closer to launch quickly, and you prefer a layout that is less opinionated, allowing for a more flexible starting point.
- Choose Pre-Designed if: You prefer a professionally designed foundation with a more defined aesthetic tailored to specific industries, and you enjoy browsing a wide selection of pre-built layouts to customize.
Both options are powerful tools for building a beautiful and functional website with Kadence. Feel free to explore both by re-importing starter templates as needed!
