Templates built like structures, not skins.

STUDIO BATTEN
DISCIPLINE HTML / CSS
SHEET 01 OF 02

Batten Studio makes multi-page HTML website templates. Every one is hand-built: plain HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript, no build step, no framework to learn, and no page that falls apart when a script fails to load.

The name is the method. A batten is the strip that ties a frame together before any surface goes on it, so the page architecture gets decided first, and the styling answers to it. No two templates here share a skeleton.

01 WORK

02 HOW EACH TEMPLATE IS BUILT

STRUCTURE FIRST
The page skeleton is drawn and checked against every template already in the portfolio before any styling starts. A different colourway on a shared layout is one template painted twice, not two templates.
MULTI-PAGE
Five pages is the working default, with real files and real links between them. Never a single page wearing anchor navigation.
DEGRADES HONESTLY
Counter values live in the HTML and animate up to what is already there. If the motion library never loads, every page stays readable and nothing reads zero.
ORIGINAL ARTWORK ONLY
Every illustration is drawn as vector artwork for the template it ships in. No stock photography, no hotlinked placeholder services, and no third-party brand logos anywhere in the product or its previews.
ACCESSIBILITY IS NOT A PASS
WCAG AA contrast in both themes, correct heading order, visible focus rings, 48px touch targets, and support for reduced-motion, reduced-transparency and increased-contrast preferences.
DOCUMENTED
Every template ships a README, a full styled documentation page written for someone who has never edited a template before, and a plain-language licence.
