The Story
Building websites with Jekyll is great — until you need a theme.
You end up bouncing between GitHub search, outdated blog posts, and repositories that were last updated in 2018. Half the themes have broken demos. The other half look identical. And if you want something polished and professionally designed, you’re mostly on your own.
JekyllHub exists to fix that. One place to browse, preview, and get a great Jekyll theme — whether you need something free and open source, or a premium theme with proper support behind it.
What We Stand For
Honest previews. Every theme has a live demo. What you see is what you get — no surprise layouts or missing features after you download.
Curated quality. We don’t list everything. Free themes are hand-picked from the best the GitHub community has to offer. Premium themes are reviewed before they go live — for design, code quality, and documentation.
Clear pricing. Free themes are genuinely free (MIT or similar licence). Premium themes show the exact price upfront. No “contact us for pricing”, no hidden upsells.
No lock-in. JekyllHub is a discovery platform. We don’t host your site, control your domain, or take a cut of your traffic. You download a theme, it’s yours.
Premium Themes — Our Promise to Buyers
When you purchase a premium theme through JekyllHub, you can expect:
- A complete, production-ready theme — not a half-finished template
- Documentation covering installation, configuration, and customisation
- Updates when Jekyll or its dependencies change in a breaking way
- Support via email or GitHub Issues from the theme author
- A licence that lets you use the theme on your own projects
Purchases are processed directly by the theme author on their chosen platform (Gumroad, LemonSqueezy, or similar). JekyllHub is the discovery layer — we curate and vouch for what we list, but your purchase contract is with the creator.
If something goes wrong with a premium theme you bought through JekyllHub, get in touch and we’ll help mediate.
The Collection
JekyllHub features two types of themes:
Free & open source — the best community themes on GitHub, including Minimal Mistakes, Chirpy, Just the Docs, Hydejack, and more. Fully vetted, always linking to the original repository.
Premium — professionally designed themes built for specific use cases, with dedicated support and a price that reflects the work that went into them.
Built on Jekyll, Obviously
Jekyll is the gold standard for static site generation — battle-tested, GitHub Pages native, and fast by default. No servers, no databases, no runtime attack surface. JekyllHub itself is a Jekyll site, hosted on GitHub Pages. We eat our own cooking.
