Menu section
One of the most relevant sections for this type of website is probably the menu section. It’s a scalable section that allows you to add as many items as you want. We call an “item” here one group with an image, title with link and a description.
This is one of a few multi-column sections included – you’ll see further below a similar four column section and a review section built for quotes – text in quotation marks, icons and a couple different text formats to reference author and relevance.
As state above, you can insert as many items you wish in this section. But, more importantly, you can customize it – by adding an extra link or a button, prices and so on. You’ll quickly get the hang of it and you’ll see how easy it is to customize and how flexible this free template is.
Full background image sections
Scrolling a bit lower in the example page you’ll see there’s an “Orders” section with a full background image and a content layer on top. It’s a good instrument for you to highlight special content, but it’s also useful for your visitors as a page break. It just makes it easier for your visitors to scroll through your content and remember content in the page hierarchy.
Contact us section
Keep in touch with customers or suppliers via email. Not a special functionality, but a necessary one for most businesses.
This free bakery html template includes also a newsletter form in case you want to build a customer base that wants to be kept informed about your products or special offers.
Other sections
There are plenty of variations on the sections with visual support. Different layouts and structure sections that give you variety in the website layout.
In addition, there is a section that you can use to promote your location. And you can use a multi-column section if you have several locations that you want to promote.
Header and footer
These are separate from the above sections, the main navigation items. Both header and footer sections can be customized easily. With more than just your website’s pages, but also social media icons with links or email.
The footer is a good candidate to introduce your sitemap as well. This is very useful for your visitors and for the search engines that analyze your website. There are a few different text formats in the footer to differentiate between important links or your copyright labels. To use the free bakery html template, you just need to keep the reference link in the bottom right part of the footer unaltered.
Light or dark mode – your choice
The example template you’ll see is a dark theme one – just to illustrate it as such. But you can personalize your website as you wish, from light to dark to mixed.
It’s easy to change the appearance of each page by three different factors:
- Fonts
- Buttons and links color
- Sections background color
Fonts
There’s two choice of fonts that come with this template. They have a stylish and a professional look and feel. Hence, it’s easy to switch between them by changing a single parameter in the body tag.
Still, if you want more control, you can always add your own fonts as well.
Buttons and links color
We call these CTAs – call to action. As for the fonts above, you can change the buttons and links color by changing one parameter in the body tag. There are six colors already defined in the template: red, green, blue, orange, pink and cyan. In addition, to use your own colors, you can easily change a few values in the css files.
Sections background color
To make your website all dark or light, all you need to do is to set each section to the same background color. Same goes for the header and footer sections, which use the same values. Or, you can mix them up to have a more colorful, diverse website.
Your choice of background colors, out of the box, are white, light, grey, dark, and black. This free bakery html template was built as full dark mode just to illustrate that you can. Therefore, by changing one parameter at the beginning of each section in the code, you can switch between these predefined background colors.
Change the values in the css files to use any other background colors you wish.
To add even more options for customization, the sections come with a very simple way to define top and bottom spacing. There are a few predefined values you’ll find in the code short coded as s, m, and so on up to xl.
There is much more that you can customize and use with the free template. Documentation is available with the premium version of this template if you choose to purchase it. The free bakery html template is a small scale version of the Basic8 HTML5 template, the premium version, which contains more features and functionality, besides the documentation.
