Nickie is a free one-page portfolio website template built with Bootstrap 4 and HTML5, designed by ThemeWagon for presenting a personal brand, small business, or consultancy through a single scrolling page.
What is Nickie?
Nickie is a free one-page portfolio website template built on Bootstrap v4.1.1 and HTML5, distributed by ThemeWagon and created by HTML Design. It takes your content—portfolio items, service descriptions, testimonials, blog posts, and contact details—and renders them into a fully responsive single-page site with a hero header, sticky navigation, and modal-based portfolio gallery. The template runs in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and mobile) and requires no server-side framework, though it ships one PHP file for the contact form processing.
Key Features
- One-page layout — Single HTML page with anchor navigation, so all sections (hero, services, portfolio, testimonials, blog, contact) load in one scroll.
- Animated CSS3 preloader — Displays a branded loading animation while page assets load.
- Sticky top navigation with scroll spy — Navigation bar stays fixed on scroll and highlights the active section.
- Slick slider in hero header — Rotating header slides powered by Slick slider, with CSS3 animated buttons.
- Lightbox portfolio grid with modal view — Portfolio items open in a lightbox modal, filtered by category.
- Working contact form with custom JavaScript validation — Includes client-side validation plus a PHP file for form handling.
- Testimonial carousel — Rotates client quotes using Owl Carousel.
