News is an editorial magazine website template with a red navigation bar, a photo-led home page and a clean reading layout. Its eight public pages include Home, About, Category, Latest Feature, Journal, Article, Contact and Elements, with a separate buyer guide.

Sixteen fictional articles demonstrate a journal covering work, design, technology, travel, culture and nature. Readers can search the local story collection, choose a topic, move between result pages and open matching article content. A publishing backend is required to manage a live publication.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 and vanilla JavaScript replace the older stack, with Swiper carousels, PhotoSwipe gallery, Lucide icons and Font Awesome Brands.
• Home-page resources drop from about 5.07 MB to 1.35 MB, with requests reduced from 80 to 52.
• AVIF photography, local Barlow and Roboto fonts, original vector promotions and minified assets make no third-party requests on initial load.
• Working local search, topic filtering, pagination and article selection turn the sample story collection into a browsable journal.
• Keyboard-friendly menus, search and video dialogs, labeled forms and improved contrast support accessible browsing across screen sizes.
• Contact, comment and newsletter requests use configurable PHP email handlers with validation and error recovery. Comments and newsletter requests go to editor review without a database.
• Click-to-load video and map embeds, synchronized video thumbnails, refreshed copy, metadata and a regenerated buyer guide complete the upgrade.
