Creating a new site from a community template

To speed up the process of designing and developing a forum, we recommend starting with a template. All of our templates can be adapted in the Webflow designer. If none of the templates are your cup of tea and you would prefer to build from the ground up, we recommend skipping to the next section of this tutorial about 'from scratch' installation.

Please note, this guide will show you how to create a new Webflow project from one of our templates If you would like to add a template to an existing Webflow project, we recommend following this other help article.

Clone a template

Before getting started, be sure to clone one of our templates. We recommend cloning the variation that is relevant to whichever membership tool you are planning to use for your community. It's not the end of the world if you clone the wrong one - there are just small tweaks to the templates that are more friendly to certain membership tools.

After cloning the template from the Webflow showcase, you can get started installing Supersparks. Be sure to authorize Supersparks to the newly cloned site.
