Template Details

Alpha template is a pure HTML website starter template. The repository provides screenshot previews and a link to an online preview. The README states that the template can be set up and built with CodeKit (codekitapp.com), so the workflow depends on the third-party CodeKit tool.

In addition to the HTML version, the author provides a WordPress theme version and a React template version of the same design, pointing to the Alpha WP Free page on becomeawppro.com and the bronsondunbar/alpha-template-react repository respectively. This repository itself contains only the HTML template code.

Regarding licensing, the repository includes a standard MIT license file, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright and license notice are retained when distributing; the code is provided as is. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their own licenses, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur separate charges.

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope is the code of this version and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code are permitted.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their own licenses; they cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.
  • The template's build/setup process depends on the third-party CodeKit tool (codekitapp.com) and cannot be completed purely manually; you need to obtain that tool yourself before use.
  • The README points to an external WordPress theme page on becomeawppro.com, which is an external resource outside this repository and may involve additional services or paid content that you must verify yourself.
  • The React version is in a separate repository and is not part of this repository; if you need that version, you must obtain it separately and check its license.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

What to verify for this project

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies HTML as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
