JD (John Doe) is a free creative personal portfolio Bootstrap template distributed by ThemeWagon and developed by BootstrapThemes, built on Bootstrap v3.3.6 to present creative work in a clean, minimal, responsive single-page layout. It takes your portfolio content—images, text, project links—and renders them through a page-animated, fully responsive website that works across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and mobile browsers without any backend.
What is JD (John Doe)?
JD (John Doe) is an open-source HTML portfolio template released by BootstrapThemes on ThemeWagon, using Bootstrap v3.3.6, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, Font Awesome icons, and animate.css. Its core function is to display a creative professional's work as a responsive website: you edit the template's text and images directly in the HTML/CSS files, and it outputs a polished single-page portfolio with smooth page animations and a clean, faded color scheme. The template is free to download, free to use in commercial projects, and includes lifetime updates from ThemeWagon.

What can you do with JD?
- Personal portfolio website — replace the placeholder text and images with your own projects, biography, and contact details to create a client-ready portfolio.
- Agency or studio website — reuse the single-page structure to list services, team members, and selected works for a small studio or creative agency.
- Event or campaign landing page — adapt the template's responsive sections and animations for a product launch, workshop registration, or exhibition announcement.
How does JD work?
Download the template from ThemeWagon, unzip the files, and open the HTML in any text editor. Replace the placeholder text and image URLs with your own content, then upload the folder to any web host — the page requires no build step, database, or coding knowledge. The included jQuery Validation Plugin handles form validation, while the CSS and JavaScript files control the layout and animate.css animations.
