Bingo is a free Bootstrap business template by Themefisher that packages a complete multi-page startup website into a plain-HTML theme with a Gulp-based build system. It is distributed under the MIT license and can be customized by editing HTML and CSS files directly or through an npm development workflow.
What is Bingo Bootstrap?
Bingo is a Bootstrap v4.5-based business template created by Themefisher, designed for building startup, agency, and corporate websites. The template takes a website concept as input and produces ready-to-host static HTML pages — Homepage, About, Service, Portfolio, Contact, and a 404 page — along with CSS, JavaScript, and image assets. It runs on any static web host and does not require a server-side language, and it includes a Gulp workflow for local development and production builds.
Key Features
- Bootstrap v4.5 — The layout grid, components, and utility classes come from Bootstrap 4.5, with custom theme styles on top.
- Six included page templates — pre-built Homepage, About, Service, Portfolio, Contact, and 404 pages are included as separate HTML files.
- jQuery 3.5.1 — All interactive behaviors, such as menu toggling and carousel controls, are built on jQuery.
- Third-party plugin set — Integrates Animate CSS for scroll animations, Lightbox2 for portfolio lightboxes, Filterizr for portfolio filtering, jQuery Parallax for background motion, Slick for carousels, and Smooth Scroll for anchor navigation.
- Google Fonts — Typography uses Google Fonts loaded from fonts.google.com.
- Customizable through plain files — Basic editing requires only opening the theme folder and changing HTML and CSS; no build step needed if you don't use the npm scripts.
- Gulp development workflow — An optional Node.js/Gulp setup provides
npm run devfor live-reload previewing andnpm run buildto produce a productionthemefolder.
Who is it for?
- Startup founders who want a professional-looking marketing site quickly without hiring a designer, using the included homepage and about/service pages.
- Small business owners who need a straightforward brochure website with portfolio and contact pages.
- Freelance web developers who want a customizable Bootstrap starting point — they can fork the repository, run
npm install, and customize the CSS files. - Agencies building multiple client sites can use Bingo as a reusable base template, replacing texts and images while keeping the page structure.
What can you do with Bingo?
- Launch a startup website: Put your product pitch on the homepage, list services on the service page, and collect inquiries through the contact page — all with the bundled responsive layout.
- Show a portfolio: Use the portfolio page with Filterizr to let visitors filter your work by category, and open case studies in Lightbox2 overlays.
- Create an agency brochure site: Duplicate the existing pages and customize the service descriptions to present your agency's offerings without starting from scratch.
How does Bingo work?
Download the zip from the GitHub repository (github.com/themefisher/bingo). For a simple edit, open the theme folder and change the HTML and CSS files, then preview index.html in a browser. For a more advanced flow, install Node.js and the Gulp CLI, run npm install in the project root, then npm run dev to launch a local preview with live reload; npm run build outputs the final theme folder.
FAQ
Is Bingo free?
Yes. The code is released under the MIT license, so you can use, modify, and distribute it freely. The demo images included in the template are not covered by the MIT license — they are for demonstration only and have their own license.
What do I need to run Bingo?
To run the Gulp build system you need Node.js and the Gulp CLI installed globally. To simply view and edit the template, you only need a web browser and a text editor — the theme folder contains static HTML files that open directly.
Does Bingo include a blog or ecommerce pages?
No. Bingo ships with six pages: Homepage, About, Service, Portfolio, Contact, and 404. There is no blog listing, post page, or e-commerce integration included.
Which browsers does Bingo support?
Because Bingo is built on Bootstrap 4.5 and jQuery 3.5.1, it supports the same browsers as those libraries — the modern evergreen browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and IE10+ per Bootstrap 4.5 browser support.
Who maintains Bingo?
Bingo is designed and developed by Themefisher and maintained on GitHub. Issues are tracked at github.com/themefisher/bingo/issues, and paid technical support is available by contacting the Themefisher team.
