A collection of simple, adaptable starter templates for building websites from scratch.
This repository contains a growing set of HTML/CSS website starters — minimal, clean, and ready for rapid prototyping or client work. Each template is built with plain HTML/CSS (no frameworks or build steps required) so you can quickly modify and deploy.
These templates are ideal for:
- Freelancers who want to present multiple design options to clients.
- Beginners who want to study and adapt real layouts.
- Developers who need a fast starting point for static sites.
- Works great with my Website Tester
