Where can I download example templates?

Question

This will be my first time using Craft, where can I download free templates from or find instructions on how I can create my own templates?

Answer 1

To add to Matt's answer there are example templates which contain enough code to get you started in the templates folder craft/templates.

There is also a repo on Github called 'HappyLager' which contains more example templates along with annotations.

Answer 2

You won't find downloadable templates like you're used to in other CMS's because the philosophy of Craft isn't about downloading theme's. You should be building your own: https://craftcms.com/docs/templating-overview
