Have you used Patterns on your site yet?

These prebuilt, customizable templates combine professionally-designed blocks for specific uses like stylized quotes, contact page layouts, and product listings. But that's just the beginning. All told, we have more than 260 Patterns you can insert into your pages and posts at the press of a button.

If you've never used Patterns before, they're like any other site element: Access them by hitting the "+" button at the top left of the page or post you're working on, then selecting the "Patterns" tab. You can also click on the "Explore" button to bring up our entire library of Patterns, organized by category.

Think of them as sophisticated slices of web design for your posts and pages. You can drop them in as-is, or customize them to your liking. Even better, we're adding more all the time.

Here are just a few of the most recent arrivals to the Pattern library.

Headers and Footers

One of the most common questions our Happiness Engineers hear from users is how to customize a site's header and footer areas. One way to easily and efficiently do that? Patterns. Note: Be sure to add these patterns to your header and footer template parts, which are found in the Site Editor (Appearance → Editor). A single update or change here will apply across all pages.

Find these and more in the "Header" and "Footer" categories.

Link in Bio Patterns

We've added a number of stunning Patterns for your link-in-bio pages and sites. Pick one, customize as desired, add your links, and you've got a brand new way to let your readers know what's new.

Even if you don't have a specific need in mind, take a look around the full Patterns library. Galleries, contact pages, subscribe boxes, quotes: with so many options, you're sure to find something that adds a fresh new wrinkle to your site.

Patterns can be an incredibly useful resource for your design toolbox. Customize, experiment, and turn inspiration into eye-catching reality.
