Karl

Karl is a free HTML5 responsive eCommerce template by Colorlib, distributed on ThemeWagon, that ships with product listing, product detail, cart, and checkout pages ready to use.

What is Karl?

Karl is a free, open-source front-end template for online shops, created by Colorlib and hosted on ThemeWagon. It comes as a static site package of 5 HTML files, 11 CSS files, and 5 JS files, along with demo images, so it can be deployed on any web server or static host. The template includes typical eCommerce flows: a product gallery with category filtering, a product detail view with price and reviews, a cart, and a checkout page. It also has an off-canvas drawer menu triggered by a burger button.
