Foto is a free, responsive HTML5 photography template from ThemeWagon that gives photographers a multi-page starter site with a framed homepage slider, lightbox gallery, and Bootstrap 4 layout.
What is Foto?
Foto is a multi-page, mobile-adaptive photography template created by Colorlib and distributed by ThemeWagon. It runs as static HTML files built on Bootstrap 4 (v4.0.0-alpha.6) and jQuery 3.2.1, producing a complete portfolio site that includes a portfolio page, a blog page, and a regular content page. The download ships with six HTML files, multiple CSS files, uncompressed JavaScript files, and demo images, so you can replace the sample content with your own photography.
Key Features
- Framed homepage slider — A slider displayed inside a decorative frame sits on the landing page and presents featured photos immediately to first-time visitors.
- Lightbox gallery — Gallery images open in a lightbox overlay, letting viewers see larger versions without navigating away from the page.
- Sticky navigation with dropdown — A sticky nav bar follows the user as they scroll, and the multi-page menu includes dropdown options for subpages.
- Multi-page structure — Six HTML files cover portfolio, blog, and regular page layouts, giving the site a professionally complete structure.
- Engaging animation and on-hover effects — Motion effects and hover states add interactivity to gallery items and content blocks.
- Custom scroll — The template includes a customized scroll behavior that replaces the default browser scrolling feel.
- Social media icons — Built-in Ionicons (Ionicons library) render social icons that link to your profiles.
- Google Maps — A map embed is included for displaying a studio location or shoot venue.
