Developer

Developer is a free, responsive personal website template built with Bootstrap 3 and HTML5, created by ThemeWagon for developers who need a quick portfolio or personal site.

What is Developer?

Developer is a static HTML5 template using the Bootstrap 3 CSS framework, designed by ThemeWagon and developed by the Technext team. It takes your content (text, images, portfolio items, testimonials) that you edit directly in the HTML files and produces a fully responsive personal website that displays correctly on desktops, tablets, and mobile browsers. The template is completely free to download and use, with a live preview available at https://themewagon.github.io/Developer/.

Key Features

• Bootstrap 3 framework — Built on the stable Bootstrap 3 grid system for a 100% responsive layout that adapts to all screen sizes.
• W3C-validated HTML5 — The HTML5 code is validated by W3C; the CSS3 is not, though both are used together for styling and animations.
• Portfolio and testimonial sections — Includes a sortable portfolio category gallery and a testimonial area to display client feedback.
• jQuery and CSS3 animations — Adds interactive on-hover effects, carousel, ghost buttons, and parallax effect elements for a modern feel.
• FontAwesome icons and Google Fonts — Icon set and web typography are pre-integrated so you don't need to add external resources.
• SEO-friendly structure — Lets you add a meta title and description, and follows Google's SEO starter guide to help with search rankings.
• Cross-browser compatible — Compatible with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and mobile browsers.
• Well-commented code — Sections are marked with comments in the HTML so even non-coders can find and edit their content.

Who is it for?

Developer is aimed at software developers, web designers, and freelancers who want a fast, free way to create a personal portfolio or online resume. It's also suitable for students who need a clean personal website for job applications, and for anyone who wants a simple informational site without learning a complex CMS.

What can you do with Developer?

• Developers: Showcase coding projects, skills, and work experience in a category-based portfolio grid that visitors can filter.
• Freelancers: Build a personal brand page with a testimonial section, contact details, and links to live work.
• Students: Create an academic or job-hunting profile page using the responsive layout and Google Fonts, which you can host on any static web server.

How does Developer work?

You download the template from ThemeWagon, unzip the files, and open them in a text editor. Since the HTML is well commented, you can replace the placeholder text and images with your own, then upload the folder to any web host that serves static files. No build step or backend is required.

Pricing

Developer is completely free for personal and commercial projects. If you use it for free, you're asked to keep the ThemeWagon credit link in the footer; you can remove it by making a donation to the authors.
