Free Creative Website Templates
This hub collects the templates that put mood and typography first: a serif-led blog, a dark minimal single page, a long-scrolling narrative, a full-screen splash with nothing but a name and icons, and image grids built for studios. They work well when the site itself has to feel like part of the work.
They are less prescriptive than business layouts, which makes them good starting points for experiments. Compare them side by side in the live preview, check which ones have extra pages such as a post layout or an elements sheet, and download the blueprint for the one that fits your idea.

FAQ
Creative template questions
Which creative template works as a blog?
Clean Blog and Massively are both built for writing. Clean Blog includes a post page, about page and contact page; Massively has large post previews, pagination and a generic article layout.
Are creative templates harder to customise?
Not usually. Most are plain HTML with one stylesheet. The animated ones, such as Story, use small jQuery plugins for scroll effects, which the blueprint calls out so you know what to keep or replace.
Can I remove the HTML5 UP footer credit?
HTML5 UP templates are licensed under CC BY 3.0, which requires attribution. Keep the credit link in the footer, or check html5up.net for the author's terms on removing it.
