When creating a new app, you can choose from several templates to jump-start your app building journey.

If you're just starting out, you can **Start from scratch** or choose the **Business** template so that you can ease into the platform.&#x20;

Some templates may contain more advanced design elements than others, like the **Religious Community** or **Tourist Information** templates. \

If you want to dive head first into designing an awesome app, choose whichever template you find more appealing! \
If you're ready to take on more advanced editing options with our Elements editor, you can read more about it [here](/style-your-screens/elements.md).&#x20;
