Why Do You Need a Kajabi Theme?
Getting your brand on point takes work. Making your web pages stand out can be extremely challenging, particularly if you’re not a graphic designer, which, let’s face it, most of us aren’t.
However, the design process can be made considerably less painful by choosing the right Kajabi theme. And, although some customization will certainly be required, it’ll be far less work than if you were to design the whole thing from scratch.
Rather than employ the services (and expense) of a professional web designer, you can simply choose a premade Kajabi theme and you’re ready to rock!
Website Themes: Our Top 5 Free Kajabi Templates
Taylor
The Taylor template is a minimalist theme focusing on large moving imagery to showcase your brand.
Clean and uncluttered, we like that the theme focuses on a strong message without overusing text.
We think this is a great theme for personal development coaches, therapists, healers, and anyone who wants to promote a personal brand.
Prosper
The Prosper theme gives off highly professional vibes through its carefully chosen fonts and color scheme.
Rather than placing images first, the theme lets the text information stand out more. We like the simple and direct information with clear calls to action.
We think this theme is ideal for business coaches, financial and insurance experts, and other professional services.
Creative
With bold colors and even bolder fonts, the Creative theme stands out! Large images are the focus of this template with minimal text.
We’re fans of how text and color have been used together to make it pop.
As the name suggests, this theme is perfect for creative businesses, artists, photographers, and anyone working in visual arts.
Hopper
The Hopper theme is another minimalist design that keeps the fonts highly readable and clear.
Rather than using photographic images, this theme leans on icons and graphics, which we think contributes to the overall simplicity of the template.
We believe it is great all-around and will fit almost any business niche after it’s customized.
Kim
The Kim theme makes use of just about everything yet still manages to maintain a cohesive look.
From standout photographic images and graphic icons to high-contrast colors and text, this is a friendly and fun theme.
Kim is a sound choice for businesses that want to appear welcoming and approachable. It’s a good fit for fitness coaches, kids classes, and pet services.
Our Top 5 Kajabi Course Themes
Premier
Premier is the default course theme, and it’s for good reason. You get a nice big Hero image and text at the top, followed by the course outline and completion bar.
Choose this one if you’re new to Kajabi and want something that looks good but is low maintenance.
Momentum
Momentum is mostly text-based and uses a solid-color banner to make the page stand out.
Choose this theme if your content is in a serious or professional niche that relies heavily on written information rather than images.
Prosper
Prosper is similar to Premier, but a few tweaks were made to the fonts and layout.
If we compare the two, we’d say Prosper is the more professional-looking theme, whereas Premier has a friendlier design.
Gamify Lite
Created by Jiffy Courses Online (a third-party creator), Gamify Lite introduces gamified features into the mix.
Digital badges can be awarded upon completion of quizzes and other modules and displayed on the user page.
This theme is best for more advanced Kajabi users who want to introduce competitive elements into their learning content.
Creative
With its bold colors and style, the Creative course theme goes perfectly with the Creative website theme.
Use the two together for a seamless and cohesive look.
Our Favorite Kajabi Theme Creators
We ventured outside of the Kajabi platform to see what else was available. There are tons of Kajabi theme creators out there, but these are the few that stand out.
Penny in Your Pocket
Penny in Your Pocket has multiple Kajabi website themes available, with prices ranging from $370 to $470.
Our top pick is the Mint theme, which uses fresh and vibrant colors and matching imagery to create a stunning design.
The theme is based around a nutrition-style business, so it’s a perfect fit for anyone in the health and wellness industry.
Penny in Your Pocket also designs course templates ranging from $197 to $597.
We love the video-centric Flix theme as it provides a Netflix-style experience to users.
The theme costs $239, and we recommend it to course creators who rely on a lot of video content.
Those with keen eyes will have spotted that Penny in Your Pocket has a theme available on the Kajabi platform.
Sunset offers a light yet colorful theme with a slideout menu bar. After using it for a while, you can upgrade to Sunset Pro for $197, which gives you more customization options.
Meg Burrage
Meg Burrage is another noted Kajabi theme creator who focuses on creating bright themes for Kajabi websites. All themes from Meg cost $697.
Our favorite happens to be the site’s bestseller. “Amy” is a vibrant theme that comes with 12 fully-designed pages, plus an additional nine funnel pages.
We love the use of images overlaid on blocks of solid color. It makes them pop!
Launch in Style
Launch in Style features six Kajabi website themes for $399 each. To get a fully cohesive look, there is the option to add on landing, funnel, and sales pages for an extra cost.
The Elle theme is perfect for all the minimalists who want something unfussy yet eye-catching.
With a classic font set and clever placement of images, we feel this is a theme suitable for a wide variety of business niches.
The Unicorn Advisory
Many of the theme creators on this list focus on light, airy colors, so we like that The Unicorn Advisory is doing something a bit different.
There’s a wide choice of themes, many of which have dark, striking colors.
The themes cost either $197 for the “Essential” pages or $697 for a full set of pages.
Best of all, both options come with a website theme AND a course theme, so you can get a seamless look throughout.
The theme that stood out for us was Warholl Slate. It reminded us of an infographic! It’s ideal for anyone who needs to place a lot of information into an easily digestible format.
Jiffy Courses Online
We’ve already looked at the Jiffy theme offered on the Kajabi platform (Gamify Lite), but paid themes are also available from this creator.
The Kajabi Papers website theme offers a warm and welcoming vibe and is aimed specifically at Bloggers.
You can choose from three styles that cost between $494 and $797. Our favorite is the Kajabi Papers Black theme for its moody aura.
There’s also a choice of course themes from Jiffy. Gamify Pro is a paid upgrade to Gamify Lite, featuring Easter eggs and multi-level content.
However, we’re loving the GamiFlix theme since it’s a collaboration between Jiffy and the Penny in Your Pocket “Flix” theme.
GamiFlix costs $597 and includes gamification features on the Netflix-style interface. It’s perfect for injecting fun and healthy competition into your course content!
Are the Kajabi Legacy Themes Worth Using?
While browsing the Kajabi website themes, you may have noticed a little button titled “Kajabi Legacy Templates.” Pressing this brings up six extra website themes that you can use, but there’s a catch.
Kajabi no longer updates these themes. While Kajabi states they will troubleshoot any issues that arise from using legacy templates, they advise against it as you may not be offering your customers the best experience.
Our advice is to avoid these. If you want your business to stand out, using outdated designs is not the way to achieve this.
Besides, Kajabi may eventually discontinue using its legacy templates altogether, so if it does that, you’ll have to completely redesign your site.
