Envato Rolls Out New WordPress Category – Template Kits

Envato, the world's leading markeplace for creative assets, has brought to light a new WordPress category called Template Kits.

If you want to create a stunning website that flows seamlessly from page to page with minimal effort – then you should definitely check out Elementor Template Kits.

Template Kits – What are they?

Template Kits represent an easier, faster and more flexible way to create complete WordPress websites with Elementor.

"Launching template kits is our latest response to the growing demand for page builders and customers looking for design inspiration that is simple and easy to apply to their website," said Cameron Gough, General Manager of Envato's Content team.

The aforementioned kits cover a wide range of niches – from book authors, restaurant to medical practices.

"A template kit contains professional, cohesive designs; with pages and content blocks for each section of your website – all built with a WordPress page builder," James Giroux, Author Engagement Lead at Envato.

According to Envato, this is not an official partnership between Envato and Elementor, it surely contributes to further broadening the appeal of the Elementor page builder.

Currently only for Elementor

Envato, the company behind CodeCanyon, ThemeForest and other marketplaces for creators, launched over 200 template kits for Elementor page builder. Taking into account that Elementor page builder has 5 million users and is mature enough, it is no wonder that Envato decided to test the waters with this page builder.

Who can benefit from Template Kits?

The answer to this question is simple – everyone who want an easier and more flexible way to create WordPress websites with Elementor.

"Customers that want a pre-packaged, fully functional website template may continue to favor WordPress themes. But increasingly we're seeing customers wanting to develop websites from a page builder foundation on rather than a full WordPress theme. For these customers, template kits provide a leg up on design," explained Mr. Gough.

Currrently, it is necessary that end-users have a theme installed that integrates with the Elementor page builder for these template kits to function. After the purchase, users can simply upload templates to their websites via the Template Kit – Import plugin.

"We know many WordPress professionals that want a pre-packaged, fully functional website template may continue to favor our existing collection of WordPress themes. But we increasingly see customers wanting to develop websites from a page builder foundation rather than a full WordPress theme. For these customers, template kits provide a leg up on design, and it's important we continue to support those changing needs," said Gough.

As you already assume, Kits are just a starting point, as users will need to fill in their custom content. It is important to emphasize that users will have the power to change the design via Elementor's built-in tools.

Where to find these digital assets?

Template Kits can be purchased on both Envato Elements and ThemeForest. On ThemeForest, the 200+ kits are organized across 22 categories such as Food Drink, Technology Apps, Business Services, Fashion Beauty, Education etc.

Template Kits have also arrived on Envato Elements, and if you are a subscriber, you will be able to obtain your Elementor Template Kits, which you can import to WordPress.
