What is the Photo Template?

The Photo Template is a static website layout distributed by TemplateMo that gives you a two-column page structure with a black background and green accents, designed for presenting photos. You download a ZIP archive of HTML and CSS files, edit them locally, and upload the result to any hosting service; there is no database, backend, or framework dependency.

• Black and green color scheme — The design uses black as the base with green highlights, per the template's tags.
• Free for commercial use — TemplateMo explicitly allows downloading, editing, and using the layout for commercial or non-commercial sites.
• Plain HTML and CSS — No build tools or frameworks are required; the files work as static web pages and can be edited in any HTML editor.
• Live demo and ZIP download — TemplateMo provides a "Live View" link and a "Download" button that delivers the template as a ZIP file.

What can you do with the Photo Template?

• Build a photo sharing site: Create a page where visitors can browse images, with space in the sidebar for navigation or captions.
• Showcase a portfolio: Display your best shots in the main column and keep biography or contact links in the secondary column.
