Crystal

Crystal is a multipurpose HTML5 and Bootstrap 5 website template built for portfolio and video showcase websites, offering ten pre-built pages including a carousel-driven portfolio.

What is Crystal?

Crystal is a static multi-page website template built with HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap 5+, and JavaScript. It takes standard HTML files and produces a complete responsive website with separate pages for a home page, about page, contact page, category listing, download page, portfolio page, all-works gallery, single project page, videos page, and a 404 error page. The template runs on any static web server and does not require a build tool or backend. The GitHub repository for the template currently shows 19 stars.

Key Features

• Bootstrap 5+ framework — The layout, grid system, and components are built on Bootstrap 5+ with HTML5 and CSS3, plus vanilla JavaScript for interactive behavior.
• Ten pre-built pages — Includes index/home, about, contact, category, download, portfolio, all works, single page, videos, and 404 pages, covering the typical structure of a small business or portfolio site.
• Portfolio carousel — The portfolio page embeds a Bootstrap carousel to display work samples in a slideshow format.
• Font Awesome icons — Icons are sourced from the free Font Awesome set, so no separate icon library or license purchase is needed.
• Free stock images — The demo content uses free stock photography, allowing the template to be previewed without licensed media.
• Well-commented code — Each section is commented to make it easier to find and edit the content directly in the HTML files.
• Responsive by default — Bootstrap's responsive grid and utility classes make the template adapt to desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes.

Who is it for?

• Photographers and visual artists — Build a personal portfolio site with a carousel and an all-works gallery to present images.
• Video creators and filmmakers — Use the videos page to embed video content and the download page to offer files to visitors.
• Freelancers and small agencies — Launch a multi-page business site with about, contact, and single-project pages without hiring a developer.

Use cases
