Light Gray is a free multi-layout HTML/CSS website template from TemplateMo, built for creating clean, professional 3-column websites with five distinct layout styles to choose from.
What is Light Gray?
Light Gray is a free HTML/CSS website template released by TemplateMo in June 2011. It provides a clean, simple, and professional base design with a silver and green color scheme, and includes five different layout styles so you can switch between presentation options without rewriting structure. The template runs entirely in the browser, requires no server-side processing, and is distributed as a downloadable ZIP file that you can edit with any text editor.
Key Features
- Five layout styles — Five different page arrangements are included, allowing you to reuse the same template framework for different sections of a site.
- 3-column design — The layout is built around a three-column structure, tagged accordingly for easy discovery on TemplateMo.
- Silver and green palette — The color scheme uses neutral silver backgrounds with green accents, giving a corporate-friendly look.
- Free for commercial use — TemplateMo explicitly permits downloading, editing, and using the template on both commercial and non-commercial websites.
- Simple HTML/CSS stack — No frameworks or build tools are required; the template works with plain HTML markup and CSS styling, making it easy to edit.
- Live preview and direct download — A live view allows you to inspect the rendering before downloading the ZIP archive.
Who is it for?
- Freelance web developers — need a lightweight starter layout to quickly prototype client sites without committing to a heavy framework.
- Small business owners — can download and customize the template to publish a straightforward corporate or service website.
- Design students — learning HTML/CSS can study and modify the five layout styles to understand different page structures.
