Bold Edit Magazine Website Template

$1,200One payment. One website. No subscription.

A light, editorial magazine website for creators, bloggers and nonfiction authors, that you own outright. A cover-style home page, list articles with big numbered points, sections, contributor profiles, a page for every book and a launch page with a countdown, all edited from a simple dashboard without touching code.

  • Built for writing in lists: every article gets big numbered points, its count on the photo, a reading-progress bar and a newsletter signup halfway down.
  • A home page that reads like a magazine cover, with a lead story, side stories, a Trending column, a ticker of the newest lists and a section browser.
  • Books sit beside the writing: a page for every book with a tab for each format, and a launch page with a countdown, a first-chapter excerpt and a preorder bonus.
  • Write and publish from a simple dashboard, and tick which list leads the home page and which appear in Trending. No code.
  • No plugins to update and nothing to hack. You own the code, the domain and every account.

The details

About Bold Edit Magazine Website Template

Bold Edit is a magazine for people who write in lists: the creator, blogger or nonfiction author whose readers come for short, useful pieces they can act on that week. It is light and editorial, with spaced capitals, fine gold rules and warm photography, and it gives every list the room of a magazine feature.

Every list, section, contributor and book is edited from a simple dashboard. Tick a list to put it in the home page spotlight or the Trending column, and add a launch page when a new book is on the way. Light and dark mode come built in.

The newsletter and contact forms check what readers type and say plainly that nothing was sent until you connect them to your email service, which is an add-on below.

Good to know: the demo photos are for previewing only. Use your own images on your site. Your license covers one website.

The short version

Made by a writer.Bought once.Used the same day.Billed monthly.

You do not need another course about content. You need the page in front of you to stop being blank, and you need it to look like someone with taste made it.

Everything in the shop comes from the same desk: built for my own books, clients, and newsletters first, then cleaned up and put on the shelf.
