What’s included

Gallery-ready bones, not a half kit.

One HTML file, one stylesheet, one script. Semantic landmarks, equal-height cards, and focus-visible chrome so you can submit or remix with confidence.

Section grammar

One H1, honest H2/H3 tree, centered section heads with matching leads — Lighthouse SEO without the guesswork.

AA contrast tokens

Paper and ink themes keep body, muted, and on-accent pairs past 4.5:1. Switch with one attribute — no white-on-white.

Vanilla forever

No React, no Tailwind, no Unsplash. Drop on any static host or zip for HTML5 galleries under CC BY 3.0.

OOTW craft

Built like a paid pack — shipped as a freebie.

Same layout foundation we use on the Master Collection: 8-point rhythm, full-bleed bands with inner containers, rounded focus rings, and reduced-motion respect.

  • Touch-friendly nav 44px+ targets, keyboard-operable mobile menu.
  • Owned decoration CSS meshes and SVG frames — no stock photography.
  • Theme polarity Paper (light) and Ink (dark) both keep readable text.

Workflow

Three steps from zip to live.

Open locally, swap the copy, publish anywhere static hosting works — Netlify, GitHub Pages, shared hosting, or a gallery upload.

  1. Unzip & open

    Open index.html in a browser. Optional local server if you prefer — no npm required.

  2. Replace the story

    Edit the hero promise, feature cards, and footer. Keep the class names; restyle tokens in :root.

  3. Credit & ship

    Keep the LICENSE and a visible attribution. Then upload the folder or submit to an HTML gallery.
