This template gives you a full-scale trade publication website that looks like an established media property—and you don't need a development team or editorial platform experience to make it work. Sixteen ready-to-use pages cover everything from articles and category archives to research reports, events, and job listings.

The technical parts are already handled. Responsive layouts, article category systems, skeleton loading states, mobile navigation—all done. You can focus on publishing the market analysis and industry coverage your readers actually need.

From a membership pricing page with monthly and annual toggling to a contributor profiles section and newsletter signup forms, this template covers the full scope of a modern trade publication. Dark mode support and smooth scroll-triggered animations give it a polished editorial feel from day one.

Best Use Cases

Industry News Publications

Publish categorized articles across five editorial sections—Market Analysis, Industry News, Technology, Venture Capital, and Regulation. The three-tier header navigation, category pages, and article detail layouts give your publication the structure readers expect from a credible news source.

Research and Intelligence Platforms

Showcase downloadable research reports with page counts, download statistics, and free or premium access badges. The research reports page, combined with the membership pricing tiers, lets you build a subscription-based intelligence service that justifies premium pricing for your deep expertise.

Event and Community Hubs

Promote upcoming events and webinars with registration status indicators alongside a job board featuring salary ranges and company details. The events and job board pages turn your publication into a community destination—not just a place people read and leave.

Membership-Driven Media

Convert readers into paying subscribers using the built-in membership page with a monthly-to-annual pricing toggle and a highlighted recommended tier. Combined with multiple newsletter signup forms and contributor profiles that showcase your editorial team's credibility, the template supports the full reader-to-subscriber journey.
