Create is a one page parallax website template for all the creatives out there. Agencies and independent designers can both put it to work for their studio. Its clean design comes with many practical features, and the layout works on all modern devices and web browsers.

Some of the specialties of Create are parallax and typewriter effects, sticky navigation, content that reveals as you scroll, a work gallery with a lightbox, services, team and testimonials sections, social media icons and a working contact form. There is even a blog section with a blog post page that you can use for content marketing and bringing in more potential clients. For a website that turns heads, Create is the one page parallax template that will do the trick.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 (the earlier release used 4.1.3), compiled from Sass, and plain JavaScript with no jQuery. Swiper 14 replaces Owl Carousel on the testimonials, PhotoSwipe 5 replaces Fancybox on the work gallery, Jarallax 3 runs the hero parallax, and small built-in modules replace AOS, typed.js and the sticky-header plugin. npm run build (Dart Sass and esbuild) compiles one minified stylesheet and one script.
• Lighter pages: the pages together went from 8.6 MB and 77 requests to 1.5 MB and 46 requests. Every photo has an AVIF version with the original as the fallback, with real dimensions and lazy loading, nine PNG files saved with a .jpg name are real JPEGs now, and the download went from 6.9 MB to 1.8 MB.
• No third-party requests: Quicksand is self-hosted, and the 4.6 MB icomoon font and the unused Flaticon font are replaced by Lucide SVG icons and a 1.2 KB social-logo subset. Each feature and service now has its own icon (four icons were repeated before).
• A working contact form through includes/send-email.php, with validation, a spam trap and success and error messages. The comment and newsletter forms validate and confirm in place (before, the newsletter button did nothing).
• Accessibility: a skip link, one h1 per page, a real menu button and a mobile menu that keeps focus inside and closes with Esc, names on icon-only links, a visible focus ring, underlined in-text links, reduced-motion support and WCAG AA text contrast, with a darker teal for text links and headings and dark text on teal buttons.
• Fixed: a grey band showed under the hero photo on wide screens, the blog sidebar search icon was invisible, the “Let’s Get Started” row had a broken column class, and the contact form’s subject field had an invalid input type. Four demo photos that showed brand logos are replaced.
