StartUp is a website template for a product design and development studio or an early-stage startup, built on Bootstrap 5 with a dark header, a violet accent and clean white sections. The layout is responsive and works in all popular web browsers. It comes with nine pages: home, about, services, portfolio, project details, blog, blog post, contact and a UI elements page.

The home page opens with a full-width hero and continues with services, an about block, featured work, a “how we work” section with a video, the team, a testimonial slider and a get-in-touch form. The project page presents one case study, the blog has a sidebar with search and a newsletter form, the post page has comments and a comment form, and the contact page has a map, contact details and a contact form.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 compiled from Sass together with the theme, and plain JavaScript with no jQuery. Swiper 14 runs the testimonial slider, PhotoSwipe the image lightbox, and small built-in modules the mobile menu, sticky header, video dialog, map and forms. Icons are Lucide SVG. npm run build (Dart Sass and esbuild) compiles one minified stylesheet and one script.
• Lighter pages: all ten pages went from 50.7 MB and 506 requests to 8.2 MB and 241 requests; the home page alone from 9.6 MB to 1.6 MB. Every photo has an AVIF version with the JPEG or PNG as the fallback, real dimensions and lazy loading below the fold.
• No third-party requests: fonts are self-hosted, analytics are off (a ready GA4 block is included), and the map and videos load only when a visitor asks for them.
• Accessibility: a skip link, one main heading per page, visible form labels, named icon links and buttons, keyboard access to the menu, slider, video dialog and lightbox, visible focus and text contrast of at least 4.5:1.
• Working forms: the get-in-touch, contact, comment and newsletter forms post to an included PHP handler with a spam trap and sending, error and success messages; the blog search sends visitors to the blog.
• New photos and demo content: startup and product-design photos, sharper blog images, fictional projects, team quotes and contact details, and links that lead to real pages.
