About This Template
An editorial home for your words
Narrative is an article-first template built for writers, bloggers, and content creators who want their words to take center stage. A classic masthead header, chronological post lists, and a reading-optimized narrow column create an experience that feels like a well-designed independent publication.
Literary, warm, intentional
Playfair Display headings give a literary weight to titles, while Lora body text is optimized for long-form reading at 18px with generous 1.8 line-height. Warm off-white backgrounds and terracotta accents create an inviting atmosphere.
Built for content that matters
Whether you're running a personal blog, a company newsletter, or a niche magazine, Narrative provides the structure to publish consistently and beautifully. Featured posts, category filtering, and a newsletter signup strip are all built in.

Warm hospitality link-in-bio for a café, wine bar, or restaurant — a faithful Linktree profile-card. A warm-sand page gutter with one elevated, fully-rounded ~600px centered white card; no header, no footer, and no email-capture section (a venue converts on reserve/menu/call). Ink-brown type, a bottle-green accent, Newsreader + Inter. Inside the card: circular logo → serif name → one-line bio → a 2-up photo-backed action pair (Reserve · Menu) → a grouped flat list panel with photo thumbnails → a social/contact row with a real tap-to-call link, then a horizontal 'on now' shelf of 3 Stripe items, and a short about block the card ends on. The action tiles ARE the conversion (menu-reservation).

Brand/organization link-in-bio for festivals and live events — a faithful Linktree profile-card.

Inside the card over the photo: circular logo → bold condensed name → dates/location line → vertical stack of sharp white cards (square logo tile, 2-line label; the priority Buy-tickets card filled festival-yellow) → social-icon row, then a stacked passes strip with Stripe buy buttons, a short about block, and the inline presale-list capture the card ends on. The cards ARE the conversion (ticket-sale).
