I want to build an adult website that will host forums, blogs, chat and story writing and publishing facilities. Can anyone recommend web templates/designs?

Thanks

A compact, practical guide to what matters beyond “pick a template.” Building a site that combines forums, blogs, chat and story publishing works best when treated as a set of loosely coupled systems: a core identity/permissions service, a publishing engine, a forum layer, a real‑time/chat service, and separate media storage. Define roles (author, reader, moderator, admin), a clear permission matrix, and the minimum viable feature set to launch—ship posting and moderation first, add chat after policies and tooling are proven.

Legal, policy and hosting constraints shape architecture. Confirm hosting and payment rules early and get legal advice for local compliance and recordkeeping. Design content gating and discovery so explicit material can be labeled NSFW, hidden from public indexers, or placed behind verified access. Treat moderation as a first‑class feature: automation + human review + audit logs.

A simple moderation workflow example:

onPostCreate(post):
  if keyword_filter(post) or file_scan_failed(post):
    post.status = "held"
    create_review_task(post)
  else:
    post.status = "published"

onUserFlag(post, user, reason):
  add_flag(post, user, reason)
  if unique_flags(post) >= threshold:
    post.status = "held"
    escalate_to_moderators(post)

Security, privacy and performance are nonnegotiable. Require HTTPS, use strong password hashing, enforce file type/size limits, scan uploads for malware, enable rate limits and CAPTCHAs where needed, encrypt backups, and keep clear data retention and privacy policies. Provide user privacy settings and an easy report/takedown flow.

UX notes tied to earlier replies: prioritize a distinct visual hierarchy and tone rather than a generic look (see ), build the fundamentals first as suggested, and verify operational limits as warned. Launch a safety‑first MVP, instrument moderation metrics, then iterate on community features and design.

You can visit w3schools.com....It will help you a lot.....

commented: TS is asking for templates or designs. Also, w3schools is not a good site for learning how to make a site. -1

Any template can be modified to suit a particular flavour of pervision, your biggest problem I fear will be finding a web hosting provider. Most wont accept 'Adult' sites and those that do will charge some pretty steep annual fees.

There are plenty of templates of adult themes on the internet, however as has already been suggested, templates afree and as such are generally used else where time and time again. If youhave the skills to change a template significantly to move away from it's original look and make it unique then you should be able to build a site from scratch.

Any any industry especially one which plans on providing a service for a fee, uniqueness is what stands you ahead of the competitors and so it might be wise to find a web design company or freelancer who will build a site for you.

There are plenty of templates out there you could use. You could even download something like PHPBB to get a quick and easy forum. You can then modify the templates to give it some of your own look/feel.

There are other free blog tools you can install as well.
