What is Gaia Bootstrap Template?
Gaia Bootstrap Template is a free, one-page Bootstrap template from Creative Tim, built from components originally created for the paid Gaia Bootstrap Template PRO. It takes a standard static-web page structure — HTML with bundled CSS and JavaScript — and produces a complete single-page site that can be hosted on any static server. The template runs on plain Bootstrap, jQuery, and Modernizr, and it is released under the MIT license. Its first version was published on 14 May 2016, and the license was changed to MIT on 10 Feb 2017.
