Morning Template is a free HTML/CSS website layout from TemplateMo that ships with two interchangeable homepage designs: a SlideItMoo image slider and a Flashmo grid gallery.
What is Morning Template?
Morning Template (TM-356) is a static HTML and CSS website layout provided by TemplateMo, a site offering free CSS templates. It is built without any JavaScript framework, relying instead on jQuery plugins for its interactive homepage elements. The template takes the form of a downloadable ZIP file containing HTML, CSS, and image assets, which you upload to any standard web host to produce a functional website. Its core purpose is to give users a ready-made design that can be edited and repurposed for both commercial and non-commercial projects.
Key Features
- Green-yellow gradient header — the design's signature header uses a green-to-yellow gradient, creating a bright, morning-like color scheme that also matches the template's name.
- Two homepage versions — the template includes two homepage layouts: one powered by the SlideItMoo jQuery image slider and another by a Flashmo grid gallery, letting you pick the presentation style that fits your content.
- Free commercial license — download, edit, and use the layout for both commercial and non-commercial sites at no cost, as stated on the TemplateMo page.
- jQuery-based interactivity — the sliders and galleries rely on jQuery, so no modern JavaScript framework is required to run them; the template works with plain HTML and CSS plus these plugins.
- Simple static structure — built as a static HTML/CSS layout, uploadable to any standard web host without needing a server-side language or database.
- Color-tagged design — TemplateMo tags the template as "yellow" and "green", reflecting the dominant gradient colors in the header.
Who is it for?
- Portfolio creators — use the Flashmo grid gallery homepage to showcase image work in a clean, grid-based layout.
- Small business owners — deploy the SlideItMoo slider homepage to present key messages, promotions, or products on a lightweight static site.
- Students and hobbyists — download the template to practice editing HTML and CSS, or to build a personal page without paying for a design.
