One Page Wonder is a free, MIT-licensed one-page Bootstrap website template from Start Bootstrap that provides a static, responsive landing page with an npm-based build system for customizing source files.
What is One Page Wonder?
One Page Wonder is a basic one-page website template created by Start Bootstrap, an open-source library of free Bootstrap templates. It takes static HTML, SCSS, and Pug source files as input and produces a compiled dist/ directory containing the ready-to-publish HTML and CSS. The template runs on any web server or static host and is maintained by David Miller, with releases available on npm, GitHub, and the Start Bootstrap website.

What can you do with One Page Wonder?
- Launch a product teaser: Build a single-page announcement site with a call-to-action, hosted on any static server, by editing the HTML and CSS directly.

How does One Page Wonder work?
For basic use, download the release and edit only the files inside dist — the HTML and CSS — then open index.html to preview. For advanced customization, clone the repository, run npm install, and use npm start to launch a live-reloading development environment; npm run build regenerates the dist folder from the Pug, SCSS, and JavaScript sources.
