Balloon Template is a free HTML CSS website template from TemplateMo designed for building a balloon festival website, using a two-column layout in red and yellow.
What is the Balloon Template?
The Balloon Template is a static website layout for promoting balloon festivals and similar events. It takes no input content and produces a ready-to-host HTML/CSS page structure. The template runs on any web server that can serve static files, since it uses plain HTML and CSS only. It is published by TemplateMo (templatemo.com), a site that has offered free CSS templates since the mid-2000s.

Who is it for?
The Balloon Template is aimed at people who need a quick, free web presence for a balloon festival or community event. Event organizers can upload the HTML files to a server and replace the placeholder content with their own schedule and directions. Hobbyist web designers can use the template as a starting point and edit the colors and layout for similar festive occasions. Students learning HTML/CSS can read the source code to understand how a two-column layout is built with plain CSS.
What can you do with it?
- Festival organizers: create an announcement page listing event dates, location, and activities, and publish it online without writing code from scratch.
- Community groups: set up a lightweight information site for a balloon launch or hot-air balloon meetup.
- Teachers and learners: modify the template to practice CSS styling, replacing fonts, colors, and column widths.
