Opium

Opium is a free, multi-page personal blog website template built on Bootstrap 4.1.3 and HTML5, designed by Colorlib and distributed by ThemeWagon. It takes no runtime input—the download contains static HTML, CSS, SCSS, and JavaScript files plus one PHP file for the contact form, and outputs a ready-to-host blog site with a slider banner, sidebar, footer, and multiple page layouts. It runs on any standard web server that can serve HTML and PHP, requiring no build step or content management system.

What is Opium?

Opium is a free, multi-page personal blog website template built on Bootstrap 4.1.3 and HTML5, designed by Colorlib and distributed by ThemeWagon. The package contains six HTML files (blog listing, single post, and other pages) plus one PHP file that powers a working Ajax contact form, so you end up with a static site that can capture messages without a backend server beyond PHP. It is compatible with retina screens and modern browsers.

Key Features

• Bootstrap 4.1.3 base — Built on the Bootstrap v4.1.3 framework, with both compiled CSS and SCSS source files included so you can restyle the design.
• Posts slider banner — The homepage banner uses a text slider (Owl Carousel) to rotate featured post headlines and images.
• Instagram feed — A built-in Instagram feed block pulls in your latest posts to keep the blog visually current.
• Newsletter subscription — Includes a subscription form with client-side validation and jQuery-AJAX-MailChimp integration for email list capture.
• PHP/Ajax contact form — One PHP file provides a working contact form that submits asynchronously without a page reload.
• Widget-rich sidebar and footer — The layout includes multiple widget areas: search box, social media buttons, drop-down menu, and more.
• 15+ UI elements — Over 15 reusable blocks such as blockquotes, ghost buttons, breadcrumbs, pagination, and a comment form UI.
• Retina-ready and multi-page — Contains 6 HTML files, is compatible with retina screens and modern browsers, and includes a Google Map embed and extensive documentation.
