Templates

Templates are ready-made starting points for websites, apps, dashboards, and other projects. Preview any template, then remix it with your own instructions or duplicate it exactly. New to Sticklight? Start with the Quick Start Guide.

Browsing Templates

From the homepage: Click the Templates tab to browse available templates alongside your projects.

From the top navigation: Click Templates to open the full gallery with search and filtering options.

Use the search bar to find templates by name or description. Use the category filters (Websites, Applications, Games) to narrow your options.

Previewing a Template

Click View template to open a full preview. The preview is fully interactive: scroll, click, open menus, and experience the template exactly as your users would.

The preview includes:

• Desktop, tablet, and mobile viewport controls
• An external link to open the preview in a new window
• Duplicate and Remix actions
• An About section with template details

Use the arrows to browse through other templates without closing the preview.

Remix vs. Duplicate

Remix uses the template as a starting point and customizes it based on your instructions. Works best for foundational changes: colors, branding, copy, or adapting the concept for a similar use case.

Duplicate creates an exact copy of the template. All pages, styles, and logic transfer unchanged. Use this when you want the template exactly as-is, or when you plan to make extensive changes after creation.

When to Remix

Remix works best when your changes build on what the template already does:

• Update colors, fonts, or branding
• Change headlines, copy, or placeholder content
• Adapt the concept for a related use case (a love note app becoming a wedding thank you card app)
• Swap images or adjust the layout

Keep your Remix instructions focused. Sticklight rebuilds the template with your changes applied, so simple, clear requests produce the best results.

When to Duplicate

Duplicate is the better choice when:

• You want the template exactly as it appears
• You plan extensive changes that go beyond the template’s original purpose
• You need to add complex features like databases, new user flows, or integrations
• The template has many interconnected features you want to preserve completely

After duplicating, make your changes in follow-up prompts. This gives you the complete template as a foundation, then lets you build on it step by step.

How to Remix

1. Click Remix from a template card or preview
2. The template attaches to your prompt as a chip
3. Describe what you want changed
4. Click Create

Sticklight creates a new project from the template and applies your requested changes.

Since Remix uses the main prompt box, you have access to everything it offers: attach images or files, apply brand colors, use skills, or start with a plan for more complex customizations.

Changed your mind? Click the X on the template chip to remove it before submitting.

How to Duplicate

1. Open a template preview
2. Click Duplicate
3. Enter a project name
4. Click Create

Your new project opens with the template ready to edit.

Tips for Remixing

Keep your first prompt focused on foundational changes. Complex requests can interrupt the template creation process.

Good Remix prompts:

“Change the colors to navy and gold, and update the branding to ‘Golden Hour Photography’.”

“Make this a wedding thank you note app instead of a general love note app.”

Better as Duplicate + follow-up prompts:

“Set up a full client database with custom fields for my interior design business, add a contracts section, and integrate with Stripe.”

For extensive changes, either duplicate first and iterate, or remix with just the basics and add features in follow-up prompts.

FAQ

Which should I choose, Remix or Duplicate?

It depends on how much you want to change. For simple updates like colors, branding, or adapting the concept for a similar use case, Remix gets you there in one step. For extensive changes or complex templates with many features, Duplicate gives you the complete original to build on.

Can I make big changes with Remix?

For best results, keep Remix instructions focused on foundational changes. If you want to add databases, new features, or significantly alter how the template works, either duplicate first or remix with basics only, then add complexity in follow-up prompts.

What kind of changes work well in a Remix?

Anything that builds on what the template already does. Common requests include updating brand colors, swapping out content for a different business or use case, changing headlines and copy, adjusting the layout, or switching to dark mode.

What happens to databases in templates?

If a template includes a database, the schema (table structure) is copied to your project, but any sample content is not. You start with empty tables ready for your own data.
