I am building a website using AEM Sites, i am not able to find a good list of templates i can download and use. Please can anyone help me with some available templates?
Also how can i style the website without themes?

As a first time AEM Sites user, are there helpful links or videos that can help?

    Adobe have some list of default templates and also you can create any new one if needed

    Example Site:

    And also you can refer to Sample content / templates provided with the AEM

    Hi @eweni ,

    There is no ready to use templates in AEM, those are either OOTB or customized one. To customize/build your template you can either copy from existing one and modify them according to your need visit below links for more details. There are 2 types of templates in AEM

    1. Static Template
    2. Editable Templates

    There are plenty of videos on YouTube which depicts how to create templates eg. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=create+aem+template

    Hope that helps!

    Regards,

    Santosh

            In common practice, a new AEM website is generated using the AEM Project Archetype. https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype

            In the example editable template template. That's right, a template that you can make templates with. After building your newly project via AEM Project Archetype, you will find yourself a full width template under /libs/wcm/core/content/sites/templates.html/conf, for practice, try creating new templates in this section from the UI, and this does not require any coding at all. You can pre-set components or even have components statically configured, so all pages that is created with that template see's the same content. 

            AEM Geeks from youtube have a series of videos on this topic.
