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.
