Sign up for Cantrip and the wizard is short on purpose. Name your site, pick a look, hit create. A few seconds later you've got a Home, About, and Contact page with sample text sitting there, ready for you to swap out. That's the whole flow now, and it only ever builds one thing: the standard starter kit.
Cantrip actually has thirteen.
The other twelve aren't the standard site with different colors. Pick restaurant and it asks what cuisine you serve and where, then writes a site around that, with a real contact block: phone, address, city, state, zip. Pick photography and you get six pages instead of three, plus a gallery, shaped around whatever you specialize in. Nonprofit skips the services list for a mission statement and a donation call to action. Podcaster, portfolio, shop, links-in-bio, blog: each one builds pages around what you're actually doing, not a generic template with your name swapped in. The text isn't lorem ipsum either. It's generated from what you tell it, and the photos come from a real Unsplash search, not a folder of stock handshakes.
You've probably never seen any of that. The signup wizard used to ask which kind of site you wanted before building one. That question got cut this past July to make signup faster: name, look, create, done in seconds. The other twelve kits didn't go anywhere. The door to them did.
They're still real and they still work. You just can't click your way to them from the dashboard anymore. The way in now is an AI agent connected to Cantrip, the same MCP connection we've written about before: tell it what kind of site you're building and it can list the available kits and build the right one directly, the way the old wizard question used to. If you're comfortable with an API call, that door is open too. What's gone is the option sitting inside the signup form itself.
One honest catch before you go looking for one: a starter kit only happens once, at creation. Switching themes afterward is one click, no rebuild, we've covered that. Starter kits don't work that way. There's no button that turns your existing standard site into the restaurant version. Build with Standard and decide later you want the richer content a themed kit would've given you, and that's not an upgrade. That's a second website, with you moving the domain and content over by hand.
Honestly, I get why the wizard got simplified. Twelve extra questions on a signup form kills momentum, and most people just want their site up. But it's a real tradeoff, not a pure win: speed for everyone, at the cost of the better starting point actually built for the twelve people who'd have used it.
