Template Details
Modern HTML5 Starter Template is an HTML5 starter template published by mrnko on GitHub under the MIT license. It provides a clean, semantic base page structure with responsive markup, serving as a starting point for one-page websites, prototypes, or teaching exercises.
The project organizes its development workflow through npm scripts: npm run sass-watch compiles SCSS files in the styles directory to CSS in the css directory and continuously watches for changes; npm run dev starts both the SCSS watcher and a local development server; npm run build generates minified CSS output. To use it, clone the repository, run npm i to install dependencies, and begin development.
The template itself does not include a backend, database, or deployment configuration; its scope is limited to a front-end static page skeleton and the style compilation workflow. The licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately and cannot be determined solely from the code's MIT 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.

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.

To work with this html5 starter template in a new project, clone all the contents of the repository using the command: `git clone https://github.com/mrnko/modern-html5-starter-template.git` 2. While in the root folder of the project, run the command `npm i`, which will install all the dependencies in package.json. 3. Enjoy the development of your new project 😀 ## NPM scripts The project allows you to call the required system npm scripts via command line / terminal. * `npm run sass-watch` — Convert SCSS style files from the `styles` folder to CSS files in the `css` folder and start watching for any changes. Whenever you modify a SCSS file, it automatically recompiles the CSS. * `npm run dev` — Runs both SCSS watching and a local development server using serve in parallel. * `npm run build` — Compile SCSS files from the `styles` folder into CSS in the `css` folder and produce a minified (compressed) CSS output suitable for production.
