Singular is a free one-page HTML CSS website template from Templatemo that uses jQuery horizontal scrolling to move between content panels, with a main menu styled with icons.
What is Singular Template?
Singular is a free one-page HTML CSS website template published by Templatemo (templatemo.com) under its template ID 359. It is built from static HTML and CSS with a jQuery-driven horizontal scrolling effect: instead of navigating vertically or between separate pages, users scroll sideways through the page's content sections. The template's main menu is incorporated with icons, and the design is tagged with the "silver" color scheme. It takes typical website content (headings, text, images, links) organized into sections and produces a single self-contained HTML page ready to upload to any web server. Since its release on 04 September 2012, the template has been downloaded 68,353 times and viewed 268,602 times.
Key Features
- One-page layout — All content lives on a single HTML page, so visitors don't need to load separate URLs to move between sections.
- jQuery horizontal scrolling — Content panels slide sideways using jQuery, a JavaScript library, creating a scrolling navigation effect rather than a standard vertical scroll.
- Icon-based main menu — The template's navigation menu is incorporated with icons, giving each menu item a visual cue.
- Free for commercial and personal use — The template is 100% free to download, edit, and use for commercial or non-commercial sites; no attribution is required by Templatemo.
- Silver color theme — The design uses a silver palette, as indicated by the template's tag, giving it a neutral, metallic look.
- Static HTML and CSS — The template runs on plain HTML and CSS with no server-side dependencies, so it can be hosted on any static web host.

FAQs
Is Singular Template really free?
Yes. Templatemo states the template is 100% free to download for anyone and that you are allowed to download, edit, and use it for commercial or non-commercial sites. There is no cost to download the ZIP file and no subscription required.
Can I use Singular Template for a commercial project?
Yes. The template page explicitly grants permission to use the layout in commercial or non-commercial websites. Users can edit the HTML and CSS to fit their own content.
What does "horizontal scrolling pages" mean?
Instead of the typical vertical scroll, the jQuery effect in Singular moves content panels sideways when the user clicks menu items or scrolls horizontally. This creates a slide-like navigation between sections of the one-page design.
How old is this template?
Singular Template was added to Templatemo on 04 September 2012. The code uses jQuery from that era, so the scrolling effects rely on the JavaScript APIs available then.
What do the tags "jquery" and "silver" mean?
The "jquery" tag indicates the template uses the jQuery JavaScript library for its scrolling behavior and menu interactions. The "silver" tag refers to the template's color scheme, which uses shades of silver and gray.
