Curve is a free, standards-compliant HTML/CSS website template from TemplateMo (templatemo.com) that provides five ready-made pages with a dark blue, rounded-curve design.
What is Curve?
Curve Template (TemplateMo #257) is a free HTML/CSS website layout you can download, edit, and publish on any web server. It is described by its publisher as a "professionally designed standards-compliant 5 pages template using rounded curves and dark blue background color." The template takes no dynamic input — it is pure static markup and stylesheets, so you simply open the files in a text editor, change the content, and upload them to a host. The design is built around a dark blue palette and curved visual elements, giving a site a consistent, unified appearance across all five pages.
Key Features
- Five-page structure — includes five HTML pages, enough to build a small business or personal website with multiple sections.
- Rounded-curve aesthetic — the layout's signature visual feature is its rounded corners and curved shapes, which distinguish it from boxy grid designs.
- Dark blue color scheme — a cohesive dark blue background is applied throughout, creating a strong visual identity.
- Standards-compliant code — TemplateMo states the template is standards-compliant, which means it is crafted to follow W3C web standards for cleaner rendering across browsers.
