Template Details

Ambrosia is a website theme written in HTML and positioned as a general-purpose site template. The author describes its goal as a fresh, lively visual style without sacrificing how page content is presented. The repository is organized as static pages; preview screenshots show the desktop home page, mobile home page, and inner pages such as about.html.

The theme includes several pages. The contact page uses the Formspree form service, and the interests page (interest.html) contains an image slideshow gallery whose image list is written in js/pic.js. Scroll animations are provided by Scroll JS to selectively reveal content on scroll. Illustrations use assets from Undraw.co and freepik.com.

Before use, several items need to be modified: the social button links on the contact page, about page, and home page; the Formspree email field on the contact page; and the images and fonts on each page. Fonts are declared in each page's CSS. Some images are CSS background images, while others are written as img tags in the HTML, so replacements must be handled accordingly. The README also notes that replacing images requires some skill.

Regarding licensing, the repository uses Apache-2.0, which permits free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided the license is included with distribution, modified files are marked as changed, and copyright and attribution notices are retained. The licenses for third-party illustrations, fonts, icons, and other assets must be checked separately and cannot be determined solely from the code license.

License & source material

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version in the public repository under the Apache-2.0 license; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution are permitted; the Apache-2.0 license must be included with distribution.
  • Modified files must prominently indicate changes, and relevant copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices must be retained.
  • If the original project includes a NOTICE file, applicable attribution notices in it must be retained when distributing derivative works.
  • The license includes an applicable contributor patent grant; initiating patent litigation as described in the license terminates that patent grant, and no trademark rights are granted.
  • 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

  • The contact form relies on the third-party service Formspree; you must register yourself and replace the email field in contact.html, otherwise the form cannot receive messages.
  • Website illustrations come from Undraw.co and freepik.com; their asset licenses differ from the code's Apache-2.0, so the authorization terms for each asset must be checked separately before commercial use.
  • Scroll animations depend on the third-party library Scroll JS; use and distribution must comply with that library's own license terms.
  • The README mentions the Formspree form service; actual submissions require configuring a service endpoint, and its usage quotas and fees must be checked separately.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's Apache-2.0 license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.

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.

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.
