Square is a website template for an architecture, interior design or building studio. It is built on Bootstrap 5 and works in all popular browsers on desktop, tablet and phone. It comes with two pages: a one-page home with sections and a blog article page.

The home page opens with a full-screen photo hero and a video link, followed by three service cards, a quote form beside the studio introduction and animated counters, a project carousel with a lightbox, a team grid, a testimonial slider, a searchable story section, a contact form with a click-to-load map and contact details. The article page has a sidebar with search, categories, recent posts and tags, an author box, a comment thread and a comment form.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 compiled from Sass, and plain JavaScript with no jQuery. PhotoSwipe replaces Magnific Popup for the lightbox and Swiper replaces Owl Carousel for the carousels.
• Lighter pages: both pages together went from 7.4 MB to 2.1 MB, and the download from 5.7 MB to 3.1 MB. Every photo has an AVIF version with a JPEG fallback, real dimensions and lazy loading, and the hero and article banner have phone crops.
• No third-party requests: Rubik is self-hosted, the icon fonts are replaced by Lucide SVG icons and a small social-logo subset, and the map loads only when you click it. No analytics code is included (a commented Google Analytics 4 block is provided).
• Working forms: the quote, contact and comment forms send through the included PHP handler, with visible labels, validation, a spam trap and an in-page status message.
• Accessibility: a skip link and a main landmark on every page, one h1 per page, visible focus rings, a keyboard-friendly menu and text contrast of at least 4.5:1.
• Fixes: the blog search now filters the stories, every menu and footer link goes to a real section, and the testimonial slider no longer squeezes the quote on phones.
• New photographs and unique demo copy replace the earlier demo images and placeholder text.
