You know your magazine needs a website that looks the part. One that feels editorial, pulls readers in, and actually functions like a publication with category pages, a media kit, an archive, multiple post layouts, the works.
But building that from scratch? Between the design decisions, the tech setup, and the sheer amount of pages a magazine website requires, it's the kind of project that keeps getting pushed to next month.
That's exactly why Bolde exists.
After years of teaching magazine founders how to build their publications from the ground up—and watching so many of them stall out at the website stage—I designed the template I wish had existed.
Bolde is a fully built-out, drag-and-drop Showit website template made specifically for magazines. Not adapted from a photography template. Not repurposed from a blog theme. Built for magazines, from the start, by someone who has spent over a decade running them.
Drop in your content, swap your photos, update your branding, and go live.

Bolde was designed by Kate Kirby, award-winning editor-in-chief of Mini Magazine and Tulle Magazine, and founder of The Editor Academy, the most comprehensive course for starting a magazine. Kate has spent over a decade running magazines that have been featured in Forbes, People, E! Online, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Vogue Scandinavia, Elle, The Daily Mail, and Good Morning America, to name a few.
After watching her students stall out at the website stage year after year—and noticing that no one in the Showit template space was building for magazines—she built Bolde. This is the template she wished had existed for every student who needed it.
