What visitors can do here
Official starters
These are the public starters that currently make EmDash real for visitors and builders: blog, marketing, and portfolio. They are the fastest way to launch while the premium layer is still forming.
A free official starter for studios, creators, and agencies that sell through visual proof and case studies.
Work showcases, project archives, case studies, and image-led service sites.
Use this as a real free starter today, then customize the repo and seed around your content model.
A free official starter for SaaS sites, launch pages, product marketing, and conversion-first offers.
Product sites, landing pages, offer pages, and conversion-first homepages.

Upcoming premium themes
These are the higher-intent directions buyers and sellers are already asking for: docs, editorial, and agency-ready conversion themes. They are not sold yet, but they show where the catalog is heading.
A premium direction for agencies and consultancies that need service pages, case studies, proof blocks, and lead capture.
Service pages, lead capture, proof sections, and case-study-driven conversion flows.
This is not live inventory yet, so it is better as a roadmap choice than an immediate launch base.
A premium editorial direction for media brands, niche publications, and creators who want more atmosphere than a standard blog starter.
Magazine-style homepages, opinion-led publishing, sections, and premium editorial rhythm.
This direction is close enough to evaluate now, but you should treat it as launch inventory rather than a ready-made starter.
A premium EmDash direction for docs, changelogs, migration content, and search-led product education.
Documentation hubs, changelogs, knowledge bases, and search-led product education.
This is a concept direction, not a production-ready starter yet.
