Templates built like structures, not skins.

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.
