Unearth is a one-page website template for mining, quarrying and earthworks companies, built on Bootstrap 5. The layout is responsive and mobile-ready and works in all popular web browsers. It comes with three pages: the home page, a blog post and a press release.

The home page has a full-width hero slider, service blocks, a video section with company figures, team cards, three pricing plans, frequently asked questions, press releases, a testimonial slider, blog teasers and a working contact form. The blog post page adds comments with a comment form and a sidebar, and the blog and press items can be filtered with a search box.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8 (the earlier release used Bootstrap 4.3.1 and jQuery), compiled from Sass with the original Bootstrap 4 proportions, and plain JavaScript with no jQuery. Swiper 14 replaces Owl Carousel on the hero and testimonial sliders, a keyboard-operable dialog replaces the off-canvas mobile menu, and small built-in modules replace AOS, Waypoints and the counter plugin. npm run build (Dart Sass and esbuild) compiles one minified stylesheet and one script.
• Lighter pages: all pages together went from 6.0 MB and 90 requests to 2.3 MB and 60 requests, and the download from 3.2 MB to 2.9 MB. Every photo has an AVIF version with the JPEG as the fallback, real dimensions and lazy loading below the hero, and unused plugins such as jQuery UI, Slick, Stellar, MediaElement and a date picker are gone.
• No third-party requests: Rubik and Oswald are self-hosted, the icon fonts are replaced by Lucide SVG icons and a small social-logo subset (the Twitter bird is now the X logo), the company video loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player only after a click, and a Google Analytics 4 snippet stays commented out until you add your own ID.
• Working forms: the contact, comment and newsletter forms send through PHP handlers with validation, a spam trap and an in-page message, and every field has a visible label. Before, the forms had no action and their fields had no names.
• Accessibility: a skip link and a main landmark on every page, one h1 per page, a real menu button, a dropdown that opens from the keyboard, names on icon-only links, descriptive alt text, visible focus rings, reduced-motion support and WCAG AA text contrast, with a deeper orange for text and buttons and a darker gradient behind white text.
• Fixed: unclosed tags in the 1.0 pages, links that pointed nowhere, and icons that never displayed.
• Demo content: new mining and earthworks copy, fictional team and testimonial names, and new Unsplash photos.
