Frequently asked questions
Common questions about using the photographer portfolio (dark gradient) template.
Is this template free to use?
Yes. Every template on Instant CSS is free for personal and commercial projects with no attribution required. Just copy or download the code and ship.
Is the template responsive on mobile and tablet?
Yes. All Instant CSS templates are built mobile-first with proper breakpoints, so they look great on phones, tablets, and desktops without extra work.
Can I edit the colors, fonts, and content?
Absolutely. Click "Edit in Code Editor" to open the template inside our online editor where you can tweak HTML, CSS, and JavaScript live. Or download the .html file and edit in any code editor.
Does it work with React, Vue, or other frameworks?
Yes. The template is plain HTML and CSS — drop the markup into a React, Vue, Svelte, or Astro component and reference the styles or convert them to Tailwind utilities.
Do I need any build tools or dependencies?
No. Templates use vanilla CSS — no Sass, no preprocessors, no JavaScript libraries. Just open the .html file in a browser and it works.
Who is this template designed for?
Professional photographers of every kind — wedding, portrait, editorial, fashion, travel, commercial, and event photographers — who want a striking dark, image-first single-page site that converts visitors into booked clients.
How do I replace the demo photographs with my own?
The demo uses free Pixabay images via direct URLs. Search for each `<img>` tag (or the `background-image` rules in the CSS) and replace the URL with your own image. Recommended sizes: hero 2400×1600, gallery 1280×1600 (portrait) or 1600×1080 (landscape), featured work 1600×1200.
Are the demo photographs free to use?
Yes. Every demo photograph is served from Pixabay, which licenses content under the Pixabay Content License — free for commercial and non-commercial use, no attribution required. Of course, swap them for your own work before going live.
Can I change the accent color or switch to a light theme?
Yes. The dark palette is driven by a few CSS variables at the top of the stylesheet — `--ph-bg`, `--ph-bg-2`, `--ph-accent`, `--ph-text`. Change `--ph-accent` (default `#f5b14b` amber) to recolor every CTA, kicker, and underline. For a light theme, swap the dark backgrounds for warm whites.
Does it include a working booking or contact form?
It includes a styled contact CTA block with email, phone, and an inquiry button. To collect form submissions, drop in our Contact Form template (Templates → Contact Forms) and wire its action to your provider (Formspree, Basin, Netlify Forms).
