What Are Kurbo Themes?

Kurbo themes are complete, production-ready website templates designed specifically for Directus CMS. When you purchase a theme, you get everything you need to launch a professional website: a fully functional Next.js application, pre-configured Directus database schema, and all the design assets.

Unlike generic website builders, Kurbo themes combine beautiful design with modern web technologies. Each theme is built with Next.js 15, uses React Server Components for optimal performance, and comes with TypeScript for reliability.

Who Are Themes For?

Kurbo themes are perfect for:

  • Photographers showcasing portfolios
  • Influencers building personal brands
  • Businesses launching professional websites
  • Agencies creating client projects quickly
  • Anyone who wants a beautiful, fast website without months of development

You don't need to be a coding expert to use Kurbo themes. If you can use a content management system, you can customize and manage your theme. However, having some technical knowledge helps if you want to make advanced customizations.

How Themes Work With Directus

Every Kurbo theme is designed to work with Directus, a powerful headless content management system. Directus provides the backend that manages your content, images, and data, while the theme provides the beautiful frontend that visitors see.

When you install a theme, the included schema automatically sets up collections (database tables) in Directus for your content. For example, a photographer theme might create collections for Projects, Galleries, and About pages. You then use Directus's intuitive admin interface to add your content, upload images, and manage everything without touching code.
