Bubble App Templates
Five complete Bubble.io application blueprints with data models, page structures, workflow logic, privacy rules, and step-by-step build guides. Each template is designed to be built from scratch in Bubble's visual editor — no code required.
What's Included
1. SaaS Dashboard
A multi-tenant analytics dashboard with user management, data visualization pages, and subscription-based access control. Typical use: internal tools, client portals, reporting platforms.
2. Marketplace
A two-sided marketplace connecting buyers and sellers with listings, search/filter, messaging, reviews, and payment processing. Typical use: service marketplaces, product directories, freelancer platforms.
3. Booking System
An appointment and reservation system with calendar views, availability management, automated confirmations, and customer self-service. Typical use: salons, consultants, tutors, clinics.
4. Directory
A searchable business or professional directory with categories, profiles, claimed listings, and admin moderation. Typical use: local business directories, member directories, resource catalogs.
5. Community Platform
A discussion-based community with forums, user profiles, content moderation, notifications, and gamification elements. Typical use: customer communities, learning platforms, interest groups.
How to Use These Templates
Each app folder contains five files:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
data-model.json | Complete database schema — data types, fields, field types, and relationships |
pages.json | Page structure — every page, its elements, groups, and layout hierarchy |
workflows.json | All workflows — triggers, actions, conditions, and API calls |
privacy-rules.json | Data access rules — who can view, edit, and delete each data type |
BUILD-GUIDE.md | Step-by-step walkthrough from blank app to working prototype |
Recommended Build Order
1. Read the BUILD-GUIDE.md for the app you're building
2. Create data types from data-model.json — always start with the database
3. Set up privacy rules from privacy-rules.json — do this before building pages
4. Build pages following pages.json — create the visual layout
5. Add workflows from workflows.json — wire up the logic last
Template Complexity Levels
| App | Data Types | Pages | Workflows | Build Time Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS Dashboard | 6 | 8 | 22 | 6–8 hours |
| Marketplace | 8 | 12 | 35 | 10–14 hours |
| Booking System | 7 | 9 | 28 | 8–10 hours |
| Directory | 5 | 7 | 18 | 5–7 hours |
| Community Platform | 7 | 10 | 30 | 8–12 hours |

Responsive Design Notes for Bubble.io
How to make each template work across desktop, tablet, and mobile using Bubble's responsive engine.
Bubble's Responsive Engine (Current Version)
Bubble uses a flexbox-based layout system with rows and columns. Key concepts:
- Container layout: Every group is either a Row (horizontal), Column (vertical), or Align to Parent (absolute positioning)
- Min/Max width: Elements stretch to fill their container but respect min-width and max-width constraints
- Wrapping: Row containers can wrap their children to the next line when they don't fit
- Conditional visibility: Hide/show elements based on page width
- Gap: Spacing between child elements in a container
If your Bubble app still uses the legacy fixed-width engine, you'll need to migrate to the responsive engine first. In the Bubble editor, go to Settings → General → check "Make this application responsive."
Breakpoint Strategy
Bubble doesn't have explicit breakpoints like CSS media queries. Instead, you achieve responsive behavior through:
1. Flexible widths (min/max instead of fixed)
2. Row wrapping (children flow to next line)
3. Conditional visibility (hide elements at narrow widths)
Recommended Width Targets
| Device | Viewport Width | Layout Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 1024px+ | Full layout — sidebar + main content, multi-column grids |
| Tablet | 768px – 1023px | Collapsed sidebar, 2-column grids |
| Mobile | < 768px | Single column, hamburger menu, stacked layout |
