Motion Template is a free, responsive HTML5 website template distributed by TemplateMo that builds multi-page sites with per-page background videos and a Hero Slider.
What is Motion Template?
Motion Template is a static HTML/CSS website template released under TemplateMo's free-download model. It uses Bootstrap for its responsive grid and components, and Hero Slider for the full-width motion effects and page transitions. The template takes your own text, images, and video URLs as input and produces a multi-page website with a different background video on each page, plus image galleries that open in pop-up lightboxes.
Key Features
- Per-page background videos — Each page in the template can show a different background video, creating a distinct visual identity for sections like home, gallery, and contact.
- Hero Slider integration — The homepage uses Hero Slider to create full-width slides with motion effect page transitions, controlled from simple HTML markup.
- Bootstrap responsive layout — Built on the Bootstrap framework, so the grid and navigation collapse cleanly on phones, tablets, and desktops.
- Pop-up image galleries — The gallery pages use pop-up/lightbox behavior so visitors can view full-size images without leaving the page.
- 100% free for any use — TemplateMo explicitly allows you to download, edit, and use Motion Template for commercial or non-commercial websites at no cost.
- Simple editing — The template is plain HTML5 and CSS, so you can edit content in any text editor and host it on any static web server.
Who is it for?
- Freelance web designers — Need a ready-made Bootstrap layout with video backgrounds to spin up client sites quickly without building from scratch.
- Photographers and creatives — Can use the pop-up galleries to showcase portfolios with a more cinematic, video-enhanced presentation.
- Small business owners — Who want an animated, modern homepage without paying for a premium template or custom development.
What can you do with Motion Template?
