Gemdev is a free, open-source Bootstrap 4 HTML5 startup website template from ThemeWagon, created by inovatik, that builds a responsive single-page landing site around an animated wave hero header, sticky navigation, and fun fact counters.
What is Gemdev?
Gemdev is a single-page HTML/CSS template distributed free by ThemeWagon and developed by inovatik. It provides the front-end structure and styling for a startup, product, or app landing page; you edit the included HTML and CSS files to replace the demo content, then host the resulting static page anywhere. The download contains 1 HTML page, all demo images, HTML and CSS files, font icons, JavaScript source files, and library/plugin files, and a live preview is available at themewagon.github.io/gemdev.
Key Features
- Hero header with animated wave effect — The top of the page uses a dynamically animated wave background to draw attention, a visual effect not present in many free Bootstrap templates.
- Sticky navigation bar — The menu remains fixed at the top when scrolling through the single-page layout.
- Fun fact counters — Animated counters display numeric stats without requiring extra libraries.
- Feature section — A built-in grid layout for listing product or app features.
- Contact form — A styled form section for collecting leads or messages (needs your own backend or form service).
- On-hover effects — Cards and buttons include CSS hover states to signal interactivity.
- Fully responsive and cross-browser — Works on mobile and desktop, tested for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
- Well-commented code — HTML/CSS files include comments to speed up customization.
The tech stack is Bootstrap 4 with HTML5 and CSS3, Font Awesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography — all files are static, so no build step or server is required.
Who is it for?
- Startup founders — Launch a marketing page for a new product or app by replacing demo text and images in the single HTML file.
- App developers — Present an app's value proposition with the hero, feature grid, and call-to-action button.
- Freelance designers — Use Gemdev as a quick starting point for client one-pagers, modifying the well-commented code to fit brand styles.
