Free bookshop website template

An independent bookshop sells taste. Staff picks, events and a sense of the room matter more than a huge catalog.

Shelf bookshop website template Launches Thursday, January 21

Our bookshop template

Shelf

A charming page for an independent bookshop, library or reading project: a real-looking bookshelf where each spine slides out and shows the staff pick note when tapped, staff picks with short reviews, upcoming author events with Add to calendar, a book club, gift cards and a find us block.

We launch one new free template every day, and this one is out on Thursday, January 21. Until then, the templates below work well for a bookshop site.

What a bookshop website needs

  • Staff picks with a short note
  • Author events with Add to calendar
  • A book club
  • Order any book requests
  • Hours and how to find you

Tip: Change the staff picks every month. It gives people a reason to come back to the site.
