This hub is ready for the first contribution. Until then, explore the client showcase for curated blank shells by tier.

02Adding a template

Three steps. The whole convention fits on this page — CONTRIBUTING.md is the same thing written out at length, and templates/README.md describes the folder itself.

  1. 01

    Make your folder

    Create templates/your-slug/ with an index.html and its own css/, js/ and img/ inside it. Lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens in the slug.

  2. 02

    Keep it self-contained

    Nothing outside your own folder. No build step, no bundler, no importing another template’s stylesheet. If it needs a library, put a copy in your folder or load it from a CDN.

  3. 03

    Add one entry

    Append an object to the array in js/templates.js, then open a pull request. That file is the only thing you change outside your folder.

js/templates.js
window.TEMPLATES = [

  {
    slug:        'your-slug',
    title:       'Your Template',
    description: 'One sentence about what it is for.',
    author:      'Your Name',
    authorUrl:   'https://github.com/yourhandle',
    tags:        ['portfolio', 'one-page'],
    added:       '2026-01-31',
    thumb:       'templates/your-slug/img/thumb.webp'
  }
