Twelve Webflow CMS templates for blogs, agencies, and studios — covering blog-first builds, portfolio and writing combined, editorial news sites, and full multi-page agency structures. All have CMS at their core, not bolted on.
Webflow’s CMS is genuinely good. Set up your collections once — posts, case studies, team members — and the rest of the site reads from them. No code, no SQL, no database. What you want is a template where this structure is already thought through: collections configured correctly, archive pages working, reading layout considered.
These twelve Webflow CMS templates all start from that position. Blog-first builds, portfolio and writing combined, editorial news sites, full multi-page agency structures — all with CMS at the core, not bolted on.
Lucide is the one template on this list where the blog and the portfolio share the same CMS. Case studies and writing sit in a single Webflow editor — no Ghost integration, no Medium redirect. Multi-page structure: Home, Work, Project, Blog, Post, About, Contact. Light and dark mode built in, which most of the other templates here don’t offer. The right starting point for an agency that content-markets alongside client work.
Agencies who write — thought leadership, case study deep-dives, or SEO-led content. Also well-suited to consultancies whose content strategy is part of how they pull leads.
$49 · Single site licence
Writing-first. Comfortable reading column, category system, author support, featured post slot, newsletter. Built for a site where publishing is the main event. The archive scales to hundreds of posts without the homepage layout breaking. No portfolio section — if project work needs to sit alongside writing, Reflect or Notes are the better starting points.
Solo writers, indie publishers, and content-led teams whose site depends on the reading experience. Also works as a newsletter landing page for audiences moving off Substack.
$49 · Single site licence
Built for studios that publish alongside their portfolio and want both sections to feel first-class. Portfolio and blog share the same grid logic — no mismatched type scale, no section that looks like a bolt-on. The category filtering on the blog is built in from the start, which matters once the archive grows past twenty posts.
Design studios and creative freelancers who write regularly. Anyone who wants the writing section to carry the same visual weight as the portfolio.
$49 · Single site licence
The most editorial blog template at this price. CMS for posts, categories, and authors — with multi-author support built in, which most portfolio-adjacent templates skip. Designed around reading rather than browsing: the spacing and type scale signal content, not conversion. The right pick for sites where the content is the product.
Writers, journalists, small news teams, and startups publishing under a media brand. Also works as a newsletter landing page for high-volume publishers.
$49 · Single site licence
A focused blog for founders and company pages. CMS for posts with category filtering, author profiles, newsletter section. No portfolio, no multi-page agency structure — just a blog that signals professional media presence. Looks like a company publication from the first post, not a personal diary that got a new theme.
Startup founders, SaaS teams, and small companies who want to own their publishing — not rent attention from Medium or Substack.
$49 · Single site licence
The most colourful option on this list. Compose uses a vibrant palette against a white base — expressive enough to carry brand personality, structured enough to handle any content type. Pick this over Narrative or Column if a grey editorial template would feel inert against the brand. The CMS handles categories and post archives from day one.
Bloggers, creators, and entrepreneurs who want a blog with visual personality. Anyone for whom a neutral editorial layout would feel like a mismatch with the brand.
$49 · Single site licence
Studio feel. Deliberate typographic hierarchy, purposeful whitespace, CMS for both portfolio work and writing. Portfolio and blog share the same editor. More visual character than Narrative or Column; less editorial formalism than Scribe. The right choice if a neutral blog template would feel inert and a full editorial build feels like too much.
Small design studios and creative practices who want portfolio and writing in one site, with the design carrying the same intent as the content.
$49 · Single site licence
The most personal-feeling template on this list. Writing, portfolio, and about section all carry the same visual weight — which most multi-section templates fail at. Quieter than Notes. If Notes reads as ‘design studio,’ Reflect reads as ‘creative practice.’
Designers and creatives who publish alongside client work. Anyone who wants a site that reflects a practice rather than just a portfolio.
$49 · Single site licence
The most visually distinct template on this list. Playful editorial grid, expressive type, full agency structure — Home, Work, Project, About, Contact — powered by CMS for case studies. Where the pure blog templates handle content, Someday handles an agency pitch with a CMS archive behind it. The trade-off is setup time: the bolder layout takes a full day, not an afternoon.
Creative agencies and design studios whose work needs to be contextualised with copy and process — not just presented in a grid.
$49 · Single site licence
Two by Jacob Nielsen ships with Journal, Work, and Team all CMS-driven — at $49. Home, Work, Project, Services, About, Team, Journal, Post, Contact. Everything a growing agency needs from day one without building a single page from scratch. The same reusable-symbols pattern as Esme: rebrand changes propagate site-wide in minutes. If you’ve seen Esme and wanted more pages and a journal built in, this is the answer.
Growing agencies who need services, team, and a journal built in from day one — at a price that suits a solo studio.
$49 · Single site licence
A news and publications blog. Category navigation, featured post slot, author pages, full archive — structured for sites that publish multiple times a week. The editorial layout is built for reading. Pick this over Scribe if you need a more news-focused grid and a stronger featured-article hierarchy out of the box.
Small news sites, independent publications, and content teams who publish frequently and need a structure that holds up at volume.
$79 · Single site licence
Editorial and long-form. Wide reading column, strong typographic hierarchy, minimal aesthetic. Fewer features than Blogzan — no category system, no author pages by default — but more design intent. The right pick when writing is the product and the reading experience matters as much as the volume.
Writers and essayists whose audience comes for the writing. Anyone for whom the experience of reading a piece matters as much as finding the archive.
$49 · Single site licence
Blog-first and writing is the whole product — Scribe. Blog alongside a portfolio — Notes or Reflect. Scribe if the reading experience comes first; Notes if the studio identity comes first; Reflect if it’s a personal practice.
News or publication format with multi-author support — Narrative or Blogzan. Narrative is cleaner and more minimal; Blogzan has a stronger featured-article layout and category navigation.
Startup or company blog — Column. Vibrant brand personality — Compose. Studio blog with portfolio — Draft. Agency pitch with CMS case studies and editorial character — Someday.
From the wider marketplace: Two if you need a full agency structure with Journal, Work, and Team CMS at $49. Wordmark for long-form essays where the reading column is the point.

Quick setup checklist:
A Webflow CMS template is one where content — blog posts, case studies, team members — is managed through Webflow’s built-in CMS rather than edited directly on the page. You add new posts or projects through a structured editor, and the template layout handles the display automatically. The distinction matters because templates that support CMS aren’t the same as templates built around it — the ones on this list have the collections, archive pages, and reading layouts already configured.
Yes. Webflow’s CMS requires a Site plan, which starts around £23/month billed annually. The template is a one-time purchase; the plan is the ongoing hosting cost. Static templates — portfolio pages with no blog or CMS-driven project listing — can run on a cheaper plan, but everything on this list uses CMS as a core feature.
Scribe if the reading experience is the product — the reading column and archive are the most considered here. Narrative if you need multi-author support and a news-style layout. Column for a company or startup blog. Blogzan for a publication that publishes multiple times a week and needs category navigation and author pages out of the box.
Lucide, Notes, Draft, Reflect, and Someday all handle both. Lucide and Notes have the most developed two-section structure — portfolio and blog genuinely feel like one site rather than two glued together. Draft and Reflect are quieter; Someday has an agency focus rather than a personal studio focus.
Yes. Every template here is built with Webflow global styles — colours, typography, and component tokens. A full rebrand is a handful of changes rather than a page-by-page edit session. CMS-driven templates let you add new posts or case studies without touching the design layer at all.
A static Webflow site stores content directly on the page — to add a new project or post, you duplicate a page and edit it manually. A CMS site stores content in collections and renders it dynamically. For a site with more than five or six pieces of regularly updated content, CMS is the right choice. For a portfolio with a few fixed projects and no blog, a static template is fine.
