What features are included in every Trickle template?

Every Trickle template includes a fully designed, ready-to-deploy web layout with interactive sections like forms, RSVP, galleries, or product lists. You also get Trickle’s built-in database support and scalable serverless hosting. Most importantly, you control everything — layout, design, content, and integrations — through natural language prompts, without needing to touch any code or use a visual editor.

How do I customize a Trickle template without a visual editor?

Trickle works differently from typical drag-and-drop site builders. You simply describe what you want in plain language prompts. For example, “change the background to a pastel theme,” “add a newsletter signup form,” or “replace the hero text with event details”, and the AI updates the site for you. There’s no separate design editor; your conversation with the AI shapes the site directly.

Are Trickle templates mobile-friendly out of the box?

Yes! All Trickle templates are responsive by default, meaning they automatically look great on phones, tablets, and desktops. The system ensures that every design and update you prompt is optimized for different devices, so you don’t need to worry about manual adjustments or technical setup.

Can I connect a custom domain and use Trickle’s full features?

Absolutely. Once you’ve customized your template with prompts, you can publish it under your own domain. Trickle provides fast, secure, serverless hosting along with its no-code prompt-driven system, so you get the best of both worlds: a custom web address plus a smart, scalable backend.

What makes Trickle templates better than other website tools?

Trickle templates are built on an Agentic Canvas that lets you create and edit websites using natural language, images, and context. Unlike traditional tools, each template is fully customizable with multimodal AI, built-in databases, and a serverless setup. You get the speed of templates with the flexibility of custom code, without writing any.
