Over the past year, the Superblocks app builder has evolved significantly with features like Layouts, Typography, and advanced styling controls – providing developers with powerful tools to create visually stunning, pixel-perfect applications.

However, taking full advantage of these features often requires developers to stay current with new features, master their functionality, and collaborate closely with design teams to integrate them effectively.

To simplify this process, we're introducing Superblocks UI Templates – a comprehensive library of pre-built, fully composable UI building blocks that are accessible directly from the app builder.

UI Templates serve as a foundational layer for your applications, offering a wide range of ready-to-use UI features including navigation bars, confirmation messages, filters, statistics displays, and more.

With these tools in hand, building in Superblocks has never been simpler. Developers of any skill level can now transform a blank canvas into a polished, professional-grade interface in just minutes.

Choose from a vast library of professionally designed, modular templates

When building our library of UI templates, we started by analyzing the most common website features found across our customers’ applications. We then carefully implemented these as UI Templates in Superblocks, placing a special focus on design quality, accessibility, and an exceptional user experience.

Our approach is centered on empowering users with a versatile set of building blocks, giving them the flexibility to choose elements that align with their specific vision and design preferences—without being constrained by pre-defined options. The library includes everything from full-page layouts to individual button groups, with multiple variations of each to cater to a variety of needs and styles.

Each block is designed to inherit your app’s existing themes, ensuring that new components integrate naturally into your applications while maintaining consistency and alignment with your overall design.

Build fully-featured UIs in a matter of seconds

With UI Templates, building applications in Superblocks is faster and more efficient than ever. By utilizing pre-built building blocks, users can build a fully-featured app interface in seconds, eliminating the need to manually design individual UI features.

This streamlined approach dramatically reduces the time required to develop an MVP, enabling teams to further tighten development cycles and rapidly incorporate feedback.

For new users, UI Templates provide a unique advantage: the opportunity to learn by doing. Instead of needing to master the platform beforehand, developers can familiarize themselves with Superblocks while assembling their applications. This lowers barrier to adoption, making it easier for organizations to onboard new team members and scale development efforts effecitvely.

Adjust, tweak, and modify exactly to your liking

Staying true to our philosophy of offering full customizability, UI Templates are designed to be completely editable. Each block is constructed using our base components, which can be modified, added, or removed just like any other component in Superblocks.

This approach allows UI Templates to act as a foundation for your ideas, eliminating the need to start from scratch. Developers can focus on refining and adapting the details—such as padding, elements, colors, and text—to align with specific design mocks or unique use cases, streamlining the path from concept to implementation.

Coming soon: Define your own UI Template Library

Organizations use Superblocks to standardize user experience across all internal apps. To increase standardization and reusability, customers will soon be able to build their own UI Template libraries, augmented the provided library with their own custom templates that perfectly match brand styles and UI patterns.

While this functionality won’t be available at launch, it’s a key focus for our team. We’re actively working on enabling this capability and look forward to releasing it soon. Stay tuned for updates as we bring this feature to life!

Create beautifully designed applications with a fraction of the time and effort

UI Templates are a big step forward in our mission to make app development and standardization simpler - and offer benefits at every level of your organization. 

  • CTOs & Engineering Leaders get high-quality applications produced 10x faster, while democratizing development work to junior developers.
  • Backend Developers, Semi-Technical Users, and Data Teams can create beautiful, interactive front-ends with just a few clicks and no frontend or design experience.
  • UX and Design Teams can promote standardization across internal apps without relying on senior frontend engineers to build and maintain a vast internal component library.
