Summary: which Kajabi course template should you choose?

It is ideal when your content has grown and you want to guide students through it with collections, clear navigation, a sticky header and a sticky action bar.

Gamify Pro with Sidebar β Choose this Kajabi template if you want a structured, gamified course experience where students can always see the full course outline, track their progress and follow clear learning paths. Ideal for in-depth courses where overview, progress and motivation are central.
GamiFlix β Choose this Kajabi theme if your course should feel like a streaming service. Ideal for large video libraries, content hubs, memberships or entertainment-style learning experiences where students browse lessons visually, save favorites and explore content more freely.
