Global

Global is a single-page HTML5 portfolio template for creative professionals, developed by Bucky Maler with the original PSD design provided by Sergey Melnik; it deploys as a minified static website that works as a one-page portfolio or a starting point for a creative agency homepage.

What is Global?

Global is a single-page HTML5 website template built for creative-industry professionals who need a modern, sleek online presence. It takes an included Photoshop source file — the original PSD by Sergey Melnik — and pairs it with HTML5 markup, Sass stylesheets, jQuery, and Hammer.js to produce a deployable static website with everything compiled into single CSS and JS files. The template is maintained on GitHub by Bucky Maler, was featured on Freebiesbug, and is available with a live preview at buckymaler.com/global.

Key Features

• Single-page portfolio structure — one page with everything a portfolio needs, ready to deploy as-is or adapt section by section for agency use.
• Original PSD included — the project ships with Sergey Melnik's Photoshop design file, so you can restyle graphics in Photoshop before touching the HTML.
• HTML5, Sass, jQuery, and Hammer.js stack — semantic HTML5 markup, Sass for maintainable stylesheets, jQuery for DOM interactions, and Hammer.js for touch-gesture support.
• Minified production assets — CSS and JavaScript are combined and minified into a single file each, reducing the number of requests the browser makes.
• Optimized images — all images are optimized for performance, keeping page weight down for the single-page layout.
• Featured on Freebiesbug — a public showcase feature that signals the template has been reviewed and shared by a well-known freebie directory.

Who is it for?

• Freelance creatives — designers, photographers, and other creative professionals can publish a one-page portfolio that presents their work without building a site from scratch.
• Small creative agencies — the layout can be modified to serve as the foundation of a creative agency homepage, showing selected projects in a single scroll.
• Designers and front-end developers — teams that work from PSD files get a complete design-to-code handoff, with Sergey Melnik's source design plus Bucky Maler's implementation to learn from or extend.

What can you do with Global?

• Portfolio launch: stand up a single-page portfolio in a session by replacing the sample images and text in the HTML with your own projects and deploying the static files.
• Agency homepage: repurpose the same structure into a one-page agency site, reusing the project sections to display client work and services.
• Learning resource: study how a modern one-page template combines Sass, jQuery, and Hammer.js with a minified build, then use the included PSD as a design reference for your own projects.
