Blanca is a free, open-source HTML5 personal website and blog template created by Colorlib, built on Bootstrap 4, that gives writers a complete multi-page site with a home carousel, blog, about, and contact pages.
What is Blanca?
Blanca is a free, open-source HTML5 personal website and blog template created by Colorlib and distributed through ThemeWagon. It takes no backend input — it is a static site bundle of 4 HTML files, 7 CSS files, and 4 JavaScript files that you edit and deploy directly. It runs on any static web host and includes demo images to get started, with a live preview hosted at themewagon.github.io/blanca.
Key Features
- Bootstrap 4 — built on Bootstrap v4.0.0-beta.2 with jQuery v1.12.4, FontAwesome, and Swiper 4.0.6 for the carousel slider.
- Multi-page layout — 4 HTML files covering home, blog, about me, and contact, so each section is a separate navigable page.
- Carousel slider — Swiper-powered slider on the homepage for featuring recent posts or highlights.
- Blog page with comment block — post layout supports images and blockquotes, and includes a ready-made comment section.
- Right sidebar — displays attention-grabbing stories, tags, and ad placements alongside main content.
- Pagination — bottom-of-page pagination on the blog page lets readers move between older and newer posts.
- Top search bar and social media icons — search box and social links in the header for navigation and audience growth.
- Contact form UI — a contact page with form elements styled, plus an about page for telling your story.
- Portfolio section — a bottom-of-homepage portfolio area to showcase selected work or projects.
Who is it for?
- Individual bloggers — publish lifehack, health, fashion, or food posts on a ready-made blog page with pagination and comments.
- Freelancers and creatives — use the rounded avatar, about me page, and portfolio section to promote personal brand.
- Beginners learning front-end — edit plain HTML/CSS/JS files to understand how Bootstrap 4 multi-page sites are structured.
What can you do with Blanca?
- Personal storytellers: set up a blog with a home carousel, tag sidebar, and comment block to start publishing without building a site from scratch.
