Raising is a free, one-page HTML5 Bootstrap 3 template from ThemeWagon and designer Awe7, built to present a construction company or agency with a full-width slider banner, gallery, team, testimonials, and contact sections.
What is Raising?
Raising is a free, open-source, one-page website template built on Bootstrap 3.3.7, designed specifically for construction business websites though it can adapt to other businesses and agencies. You supply the usual site content — banner slides, about text, team member photos, gallery images, and testimonials — and it renders a responsive single-page site with a sticky navigation bar and integrated Google Maps. The template is distributed by ThemeWagon, created by Awe7, and is free for commercial projects with lifetime updates.
Key Features
- Swiper slider banner — The hero section is a full-width slider with smooth transitions, using SwiperJS to deliver a good mobile sliding experience.
- Isotope-masonry gallery — Images are laid out in a filterable masonry grid; hovering adds animation and clicking opens a detailed view in a Magnific Pop-up lightbox.
- Sticky navigation with search bar — The top nav bar becomes fixed when scrolling and includes a search bar plus an animated indicator showing your current page position.
- Team and social hover — A dedicated team section accepts member names and photos, and hovering reveals animated social media icons.
- Bootstrap 3.3.7 core — Styling and layout rely on Bootstrap 3.3.7, with Font Awesome icons and Google Fonts; the template is cross-browser compatible with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Mobile, Opera, and Safari.
- Integrated Google Maps — A built-in Google Maps plugin displays the company location without extra setup.
- Testimonial and about sections — Ready-made blocks for client reviews and company background complete the one-page flow.
- Footer menu and off-screen nav — The wide footer menu adds room for extra descriptions, and smaller screens get an off-screen menu for navigation.
Who is it for?
- Construction companies and contractors — Launch a professional single-page website to display projects, team, and client testimonials and turn visitors into leads.
- Freelance web designers — Use Raising as a free starting point for client builds; the HTML, CSS, and uncompressed JavaScript files are easy to customize.
- Agencies and other businesses — Because the sections are highly customizable, the template can be adapted for non-construction agency websites as well.
