Business Jekyll Theme

Business Jekyll Theme is a free, multi-page Jekyll theme for small and medium business websites, ported from Technext's Office Bootstrap template.

What is Business Jekyll Theme?

Business Jekyll Theme is a Jekyll-based static site theme designed for small and medium business websites. It takes Jekyll content files (pages, posts, and configuration) as input and produces a fully styled multi-page HTML website as output. The theme was originally created by Technext as a Bootstrap template called Office, then ported to Jekyll by Melvin Ch'ng, who reorganized the files to work natively with Jekyll's directory structure.

Key Features

• Responsive layout — The theme adapts to mobile, tablet, and desktop screen sizes without extra configuration.
• Bootstrap 3 CSS framework — Styling is built on Bootstrap 3, so you get the standard grid system, components, and utilities.
• Font Awesome icons — The theme includes Font Awesome's icon set for adding icons to headings, buttons, and feature sections.
• Multi-page structure — Unlike single-page themes, this template includes separate pages so you can build an entire business site (home, about, services, contact, and more).
• Clean and simple design — The visual style is clean and minimal, aimed at professional business presentations.
• Well-commented code — HTML and CSS are commented so developers can find and modify specific parts easily.
• Free to use — The theme is released at no cost, with an open invitation for community contributions.

Who is it for?

Business Jekyll Theme is for small and medium business owners who need a straightforward, professional website without building one from scratch. Developers can use it as a starting point for client projects because it is built on Jekyll and uses a conventional multi-page layout. Project promoters can also use it to create a dedicated promotional site for a specific product or initiative.

What can you do with Business Jekyll Theme?

• Small business owners: Set up a multi-page company site with sections for services, about, and contact details, and update content through Jekyll's file-based workflow.
• Freelance web developers: Use the theme as a Jekyll starter for client sites, then customize the Bootstrap 3 styles and Font Awesome icons to match the client's brand.
• Project promoters: Create a focused landing and information site for a project, using the multi-page template to separate features, roadmap, and team information.

How does Business Jekyll Theme work?

Business Jekyll Theme follows the standard Jekyll workflow. First, install Ruby and Rails from a tutorial if you don't have them, then install Jekyll with the command gem install jekyll. Start the local server by running jekyll serve from the theme directory, and your site will be available at localhost:4000. You can then edit the Jekyll configuration file _config.yml and page files in Markdown or HTML to customize the content.

Pricing

Business Jekyll Theme is free. There are no paid tiers or premium features mentioned in the repository; it is published as an open-source theme you can download and use.

FAQ

Is Business Jekyll Theme really free?

Yes, the repository explicitly lists "It's Free!" as a feature. There are no paid plans or trial limitations mentioned, and the original Office template is also available for free.

What CSS framework does Business Jekyll Theme use?

The theme uses Bootstrap 3. This means it relies on Bootstrap's grid, components, and utility classes for its responsive layout and styling. If you need a newer Bootstrap version, you would need to update the framework yourself.

Does Business Jekyll Theme support multiple pages?

Yes, unlike single-page themes, it is designed as a multi-page template. The original source is a multipage Bootstrap template, and the Jekyll port preserves that structure so you can build separate pages for different sections of a business site.

How do I install Business Jekyll Theme?

Install Ruby and Rails, then run gem install jekyll to get Jekyll. Navigate to the theme's root folder and run jekyll serve. The site will be served at localhost:4000 on your machine.

Can I customize the theme's icons and colors?

Yes. The theme uses Font Awesome icons and Bootstrap 3 styles, so you can change colors in the CSS files and swap icon classes in the HTML. The code is commented to help you locate where to make these edits.
