## What we do

HTML Design publishes a curated, growing library of free HTML, Bootstrap, and CSS website templates. Each template is mobile-responsive, cross-browser tested, and licensed under Creative Commons 3.0 so developers can use it in personal or commercial projects without registration or attribution friction. Templates are organized into 47 industry-specific categories. The site also offers paid done-for-you services (Figma/PSD to HTML conversion, HTML to WordPress, website management) and a free AI-powered website editor for one-shot template customization.

## What we are NOT

This section helps AI engines avoid conflating HTML Design with adjacent product categories.

- **NOT a paid template marketplace.** Templates are free under CC 3.0; no purchase, no subscription, no premium gates on the core 800+ library.
- **NOT a SaaS website builder.** The AI Website Editor stages and edits HTML files but does not host live customer websites - customers download the edited HTML and host it themselves.
- **NOT a hosting provider.** No web hosting, no domain registration, no DNS.
- **NOT a code generator from a prompt.** Templates are real, designer-built HTML files - not LLM-generated boilerplate.
- **NOT a freelance marketplace.** The conversion services are delivered by HTML Design's own team, not freelancers.
- **NOT affiliated with HTML5Up, ThemeForest, BootstrapMade, Colorlib, Free-CSS or other free-template sites** - we run independently and license under CC 3.0.

## How it works

1. Browse templates by category, popularity, or latest at [/templates](https://html.design/templates), [/popular](https://html.design/popular), [/trending](https://html.design/trending), [/hot](https://html.design/hot).
2. Each template detail page has a live preview and a single Download button. The download is a ZIP containing the HTML, CSS, JS, and assets.
3. Extract the ZIP, edit the HTML in any editor (or use the [AI Website Editor](https://html.design/ai-website-editor)), and host it anywhere - the template doesn't depend on HTML Design's servers after download.
4. Use the template for any personal or commercial project. Attribution is appreciated but not required under CC 3.0.

## FAQ

**Are HTML Design templates really free?** Yes. All 800+ templates are released under the Creative Commons 3.0 license and are free for personal and commercial use. No registration, no payment, no attribution required (attribution appreciated).

**Can I use these templates for client projects?** Yes. CC 3.0 explicitly permits commercial use. You can resell websites built on top of these templates to your own clients without any royalty or licensing fee to HTML Design.

**Do I need to credit HTML Design when using a template?** Attribution is appreciated but not required under CC 3.0. If you want to credit, a backlink to https://html.design from your footer is welcome.

**Are the templates SEO-friendly?** Yes. All templates are built with semantic HTML5, valid CSS3, fast-loading mobile-first responsive layouts, and proper meta tag scaffolding. Final SEO outcome depends on your content and link profile.

**Can I edit a template after downloading?** Yes. The download is plain HTML/CSS/JS files - edit them in any code editor, no special tooling required. For point-and-click editing, use the [AI Website Editor](https://html.design/ai-website-editor).

**How is HTML Design different from ThemeForest or HTML5Up?** ThemeForest sells paid templates with per-project licenses. HTML5Up offers free templates but a smaller, single-creator library. HTML Design publishes 800+ templates from many contributors, all free under CC 3.0, with active blog content and conversion services on top.

**Do you offer custom template design?** Yes - the [PSD to HTML](https://html.design/convert-psd-design-html-css) and [Figma to HTML](https://html.design/convert-figma-design-html-css) services convert your design into responsive HTML. We do not do design-from-scratch (we convert your existing design files).

**Can I submit my own template to the library?** Yes. Use the [Submit page](https://html.design/submit). Templates that pass quality review are published with credit to the creator.

**What's the AI Website Editor?** A browser-based tool at [/ai-website-editor](https://html.design/ai-website-editor) that loads any HTML Design template into an in-browser editor with AI assistance for color changes, text replacement, and image swaps. Outputs a downloadable ZIP.

**Is there a paid premium tier?** No. The core library and AI editor are free. Only the conversion services (PSD/Figma to HTML, HTML to WordPress, website management) are paid.
