How to use this template

1. 1

   Look through the design

   Scroll the live preview on this page. It is the real energy grid data story template running in the browser, not a screenshot, so what you see is what you get.

2. 2

   Say what you want it to be

   Type your business, product or subject into the box, and attach a logo, photos or a brief if you have them, or leave it blank to start from the design exactly as it is. Starting a project from a template is a paid-plan feature; looking through them is not.

3. 3

   Let it be rebuilt around you

   The copy, the palette and the imagery are rewritten for your subject while the layout, typography and motion of the original are kept.

4. 4

   Keep editing, then export

   Open it on the canvas to change anything by prompt or by hand, then publish it or export the code.

Questions

Are the figures real?

The page is built on published grid behaviour — frequency, inertia and reserve — and presents it as an explanation rather than a live feed. Replace it with your own data when you make the page yours.

Can I point it at my own dataset?

Yes. Describe the story your data tells and the page keeps its structure — hook, mechanism, stack, stress test, numbers, close.

Is this energy grid data story template free to use?

Browsing is free and needs no account — you can scroll the whole design on this page, at desktop and at mobile width, before deciding anything. Starting a project from a template is on the paid plans.

Can I change the colours and fonts?

Yes — every colour in this design is a named token and every typeface is declared once, so asking for your own brand rewrites a handful of declarations rather than regenerating the page. This template currently uses IBM Plex Sans, IBM Plex Mono and Inter.

Do I need an account to look at the templates?

No. Every template page, its live preview and all the category pages are open to anyone — no account, no sign-up wall. An account and a paid plan are needed only when you start a project from one.

Do I need to know how to design or code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language and the page is rebuilt around it. If you do write code, you can export the HTML and CSS and take it with you.

Can I use it for a commercial project?

Yes. Pages you make from a template are yours to publish and to use commercially.
