AweSplash

AweSplash is a free HTML5 splash screen template by Awe7, distributed through ThemeWagon, that packages four ready-to-use demo pages for welcome screens, coming-soon pages, and product launch entries.

What is AweSplash?

AweSplash is a free HTML5 and CSS3 splash screen template created by Awe7 and hosted on ThemeWagon. It takes a set of static HTML files and delivers multiple splash-page layouts — single image, slider image, video background, and colored background — that you can use as an introductory page for a website or upcoming product. The template works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and mobile browsers, and includes jQuery and JavaScript plugins for animated text and sliders.

The package contains 4 HTML files, 3 CSS files, and uncompressed JavaScript files. It relies on Google Fonts and FontAwesome for typography and icons, and credits Unsplash for imagery.
