Structure Of The Site

index-****.html is the main template file that contains the HTML structure of the template.


Structure Of CSS

The organization of the CSS is one of our priorities.
These are the CSS file we're using in the template:

assets/css/style.css (general styles)
If you would like to edit a specific section of the site, simply find the appropriate label in the CSS file, and then scroll down until you find the appropriate style that needs to be edited.

Template installation is pretty easy. All required files are in every version so you can delete unused.

Files are written in simple HTML/CSS/JS/PHP, so you do not need an internet connection in order to display or edit the template, you can view this template in any web browser from your computer. It's important to understand that you must have an online server in order to use this template as a real website. The server can be purchased at many different places around the internet. It's a simple thing: You need to put the files that you purchased somewhere so others can find them online.

Here are the required steps:

  1. Choose the desired variant

  5. Once the files are done uploading, you can access your website via browser.
