Best Places to Buy Website Templates in 2026 (By Platform)

Where to buy website templates for WordPress, Framer, Webflow, React and Figma: ThemeForest, Envato Elements, Creative Tim, UI8, Relume and TemplateMonster.

The best place to buy a website template depends on the platform you build on. For WordPress, ThemeForest has the biggest choice of single themes and Envato Elements is cheaper if you need many. For Framer and Webflow, buy from their official marketplaces so the template imports straight into your account. For React, Next.js and admin dashboards, Creative Tim is the established shop. For Figma UI kits, UI8 is the premium pick. Relume suits designers who want components and a sitemap instead of a finished theme.

Pick the platform first, then the shop. A beautiful template for the wrong tool costs you a rebuild.

I'm Anna, a web designer and developer. I build sites in Framer, WordPress, plain HTML and with AI tools, and I pay for MotionSites. I haven't bought from most of the shops below, so this is a research guide based on official pricing pages, marketplace listings and independent reviews. Prices are as of November 2026 and change with sales, so check each listing. Some links here are affiliate links.

Quick comparison

Sources: each shop's own pages, November 2026. Where a shop blocked our checks or didn't show a price, we say "check the site".

WordPress: ThemeForest and Envato Elements

ThemeForest

ThemeForest is Envato's one-off marketplace and the largest store of premium WordPress themes. You pay once per item. A regular license covers one end product, and each purchase includes item support from the author for a set period, which you can extend.

Good for: one business site where you want a specific, well-reviewed theme with support.

Watch for: many bestselling themes bundle several premium plugins. Check update history, rating count and the last update date before buying. A theme that hasn't been updated this year is a risk.

Envato Elements

Envato Elements is the subscription version: unlimited downloads of WordPress themes, plugins, Elementor kits, HTML templates, fonts and stock, from $16.50 a month on annual billing. Each download is licensed to one project. There is no item support.

Good for: freelancers who build several sites a year and also need photos, fonts and kits.

Our full Envato Elements review covers the license and the catches.

TemplateMonster and MonsterONE

TemplateMonster sells WordPress, Shopify, HTML and other themes, one at a time, and runs MonsterONE as an unlimited-download subscription. Third-party sources in 2026 list MonsterONE from about $14 to $15 a month, but plan names and prices vary between sources, so check the official page.

Good for: Shopify and niche WordPress themes; a second catalog to compare with Envato.

If you are choosing a WordPress theme from scratch, a free light theme plus a builder may do the job. See Astra vs GeneratePress vs Kadence and Elementor vs Divi.

Framer: the official marketplace

Framer's template marketplace is the only sensible place to start for a Framer site. Free templates duplicate straight into your project. Paid templates are sold by independent creators and check out through their own stores, such as Lemon Squeezy, Polar or Contra, then import into Framer.

On the first page of templates in November 2026, we counted more free templates than paid ones. Paid prices ranged from $2 to $149, and most fell between $39 and $129. Framer has also added agent templates with built-in design systems, so an AI agent can edit them on request.

Good for: portfolios, startup landing pages, agency sites.

Watch for: the template is free or one-time, but publishing on your own domain needs a paid Framer site plan. See Framer vs Webflow vs Lovable.

Webflow: the official templates library

Webflow's template library works the same way: buy, then clone into your Webflow workspace. Third-party roundups in 2026 put most paid Webflow templates between about $49 and $129, with a solid set of free ones from vetted designers. Each purchase is usually for one site.

Good for: CMS-heavy sites such as blogs, directories and SaaS marketing pages.

Watch for: like Framer, you still need a Webflow site plan to publish on a custom domain.

React, Next.js and dashboards: Creative Tim

Creative Tim sells UI kits and admin dashboards for React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Bootstrap and Tailwind, plus shadcn/ui blocks. Many products have a free version and a Pro version. In November 2026, its Club page offered lifetime access to current and future products for $349, down from $749, as a limited offer.

Good for: developers and founders who need a working admin panel or SaaS dashboard fast. Also useful as a base for apps built with AI tools such as Lovable, Bolt or v0. Our Lovable vs Bolt vs v0 comparison covers those tools.

Watch for: read the license tiers. Using a template in a product you sell to many users usually needs a higher license than a single client site.

Figma UI kits: UI8

UI8 is a marketplace for premium design files: Figma UI kits, design systems, mockups, icons, illustrations and 3D. It also sells some coded templates. Products are sold one at a time, and UI8 offers an all-access pass. UI8's site blocked our automated checks, so we couldn't confirm the current pass price; check it on UI8 directly.

Good for: designers who start in Figma and want a polished system to adapt, then hand off to a developer or an AI tool.

Components and sitemaps: Relume

Relume is different from a template shop. It gives you a library of more than 1,000 components for Figma, Webflow and React, plus an AI site builder that drafts a sitemap and wireframe from a prompt. You assemble a site from blocks instead of buying a finished theme.

Prices from relume.ai, November 2026.

Good for: designers and agencies who want a fast wireframe-to-site process in Webflow or React.

AI prompts instead of templates

There's a newer option: start from a design prompt and let an AI tool build the site. I pay for MotionSites, a library of website design prompts with animated hero sections. A prompt gives you a design direction you can adapt in any tool, without the template's fixed structure. Our prompt gallery and MotionSites review show how that works.

How to choose a template

1. Match the platform. WordPress theme, Framer template, Webflow template, React code or Figma file. They don't convert into each other.
2. Check the last update. For WordPress and React, a template updated in the last few months is safer.
3. Read the license. One site, many sites, or a product sold to users: each has a different license.
4. Look at the real demo on a phone. Many templates look great on desktop and break on mobile.
5. Count the extras. Bundled plugins, fonts and images may have their own licenses.
6. Budget for hosting or a site plan. The template is often the smallest cost. See our launch toolkit.

FAQ

Where is the best place to buy a WordPress theme?

ThemeForest has the largest choice of single premium WordPress themes, with a one-time price and author support for a set period. Envato Elements is cheaper if you need several themes, kits and stock assets, from $16.50 a month on annual billing as of November 2026, but it includes no author support. TemplateMonster is a second catalog to compare.

Where can I buy Framer templates?

Buy Framer templates from Framer's official marketplace. Free templates duplicate straight into your project. Paid ones are sold by creators through stores such as Lemon Squeezy, Polar or Contra. In November 2026, paid prices on the first page ranged from $2 to $149. Publishing on a custom domain still needs a Framer site plan.

Are Webflow templates a one-time purchase?

Yes. Webflow templates are bought once and cloned into your workspace, and each purchase is usually for one site. Third-party roundups in 2026 put most paid templates between about $49 and $129, with free options too. You still need a paid Webflow site plan to publish the template on your own domain.

What is the best site for React and admin dashboard templates?

Creative Tim is the established shop for React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Bootstrap and Tailwind dashboards and UI kits, including shadcn/ui blocks. Many products have free versions. In November 2026, its Club offered lifetime access to all current and future products for $349, down from $749, as a limited offer. Check license tiers before using templates in a product.

Is Relume a template marketplace?

Not exactly. Relume offers a library of more than 1,000 components for Figma, Webflow and React and an AI tool that drafts a sitemap and wireframe from a prompt. You build the site from blocks. As of November 2026, there is a free plan, Starter from $18 a month and Pro from $40 a month.

Is a subscription or a one-time template purchase better?

A one-time purchase is better for one site: you pay once and, on ThemeForest, get author support for a set period. A subscription such as Envato Elements or MonsterONE is better if you build several sites a year and also need stock photos, fonts and kits. Read the license either way, since most cover one project per download.

Bottom line

Choose the platform first, then the shop: ThemeForest or Envato Elements for WordPress, the official marketplaces for Framer and Webflow, Creative Tim for React dashboards, UI8 for Figma kits and Relume for component-based builds. Check the last update, the license and the mobile demo before you pay, and budget for hosting or a site plan on top.
