Format — Free Creative Agency Portfolio Website Template
Format is a portfolio template for a small creative or design agency. The home page opens with an agency headline, then a six-project portfolio grid, three service blocks (interface design, user experience, product strategy), a products section and a “More Benefits” section. Inner pages cover a full portfolio grid, a single project page, products, an about page with a history section and a four-person team, and a contact page with three office blocks and a form. The demo uses placeholder copy you will replace. It is an older Bootstrap 3 build that still uses jQuery; fine for a quick static site, but not a modern base.

How to use it
Download and unzip Format, then open index.html in a browser. Edit text and images in the HTML files. Styles load from styles-merged.css, style.min.css and custom.css, so add your own overrides to custom.css; scripts load from scripts.min.js, main.min.js and custom.js. Connect the contact form to a form service or backend, then upload the folder to any static host. The template depends on jQuery, so keep the bundled script files in place when you edit the JavaScript.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Format for commercial or client projects?
Yes. Format is free for personal and commercial use, including client work, and there are no paid tiers. Attribution is optional but always welcome, so you can keep or remove the footer credit. Full terms: uicookies.com/license
Is Format a modern Bootstrap 5 template?
No. It is an older Bootstrap 3 build that still uses jQuery and ships old Internet Explorer polyfills. It works for a quick static site, but if you want a modern base, choose a Bootstrap 5 template instead.
Which pages does Format include?
Six: a home page, a portfolio grid, a single project page, a products page, an about page with a team, and a contact page. The layout is aimed at a creative agency that shows client work and a few products.
Does the contact form work?
Not on its own. It is front-end only and sends nothing until you connect it to a form service or your own backend. Swap the three sample office blocks for your own addresses at the same time.
