Tablecraft — Free Accessible HTML Table Configurator
The existing table pack gives you finished examples. Tablecraft lets you choose the behavior and export an example that matches those choices. Remove optional columns, compare compact and comfortable rows, choose a fixed contrast palette and test search, sorting and pagination in the preview. The exported document includes the sample data and all required CSS and JavaScript without a CDN or build command. Copy the code into your project or download the standalone file, then replace the fictional orders with your own data source. Accessibility support is built into the generated markup and controls.

How to use it
Unzip tablecraft and open index.html in a browser. Edit the HTML copy, the demo arrays in js/main.js and the palette in css/style.css. The supplied Bootstrap files are self-hosted, so there is no build step or external script dependency. Changes are stored only in this browser; connect your own authenticated API before using real records. Deploy the folder to any static host.
