Coach is a free Bootstrap 4 HTML5 one-page personal portfolio website template from ThemeWagon, created by Colorlib, that gives speakers, teachers, and similar professionals a ready-made responsive site with a type-writer effect, header slider, and image gallery.
What is Coach?
Coach is a free Bootstrap 4 HTML5 personal portfolio template distributed by ThemeWagon and originally built by Colorlib. It packages 3 HTML files, CSS and SCSS sources, JavaScript files, font icons, and demo images into a site that runs entirely in the browser without a backend. The template is listed as a one-page design even though its feature list and 3 HTML files indicate a multi-page structure.
Key Features
- Bootstrap 4 foundation — Built on Bootstrap 4 with a clean, minimal design and cross-browser compatibility for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
- Type-writer effect — The homepage header animates text with a typewriter effect for attention-grabbing headlines.
- Header slider — Owl Carousel powers a slider in the header section to cycle through hero images or slides.
- Sticky navigation with drop-down menu — The top navigation bar remains fixed on scroll and supports multi-level drop-down menus.
- Image gallery with modal view — Portfolios display images in a gallery grid; clicking opens them in a Fancybox or Magnific Pop-Up lightbox.
- Testimonial carousel and contact form — A carousel presents client quotes, and a built-in contact form UI captures visitor messages (you must connect it to an email service).
- Newsletter subscription and search box — A subscription form collects emails, and a search box lets visitors search the site.
- Load-on-scroll animations and CSS3 preloader — Content fades in as you scroll, and a preloader plays while the page loads.
Who is it for?
Coach is aimed at professionals who need a personal brand site quickly. Motivational speakers can present their biography and booking contact form.

Freelance coaches and consultants can display client testimonials in the carousel and showcase work in the image gallery.
What can you do with Coach?

- Teachers/instructors: publish lecture notes and articles via the blog section, plus a newsletter subscription form to grow an audience.
- Coaches and consultants: display client testimonials in the carousel and use the image gallery with modal view to present portfolios or event photos.
