Key Features

- Colorful navigation — The main menu uses distinct colors for each navigation item, giving every section its own visual marker.
- Dark gray color scheme — The background is a dark gray, which fits the "tech" label and pairs with the colorful nav.
- Metro-style design — Tagged with "metro," the template follows a flat look associated with tile-based interfaces.
- Free for commercial use — TemplateMo explicitly permits download, editing, and usage of Tech Layer on any commercial or non-commercial site at no cost.
- Mini theme size — Described as a "mini theme," so the codebase is compact and easy to modify.

- Small business owners — They can download the ZIP, replace the sample text and imagery, and publish a simple brochure site without a database or backend.
