Template Details
Kross is a Hugo-based personal portfolio theme developed by Themefisher, with the repository hosted on GitHub. It targets creators who need to showcase personal work while maintaining a blog, offering more than 8 pre-built pages: home, about, blog list, blog detail, contact, portfolio list, portfolio detail, and 404. The theme includes a contact form, Google Maps, GDPR consent notice, Google Analytics, and Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags, and uses Hugo Pipes to bundle CSS and JavaScript. The repository README states a minimum Hugo version of 0.64.0, and local development uses npm scripts for project initialization, dependency installation, and starting the development server. The code is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided copyright and license notices are retained; third-party assets such as demo images are not covered by the MIT license and must be checked separately. The PageSpeed scores mentioned in the README are the author's own test results and no performance judgment is made here.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; 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 of this version's 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 are for display only and have their own licenses; the project has no right to share these images. Therefore, third-party assets such as images cannot be covered by the code's MIT license and must be checked for authorization before use.
- The template is preconfigured with Sitepins, a Git-based headless CMS for content management, which is an external service; using its visual editing features requires accessing that third-party platform.
- Theme customization or full-site development is a paid employment service, not part of the free code; the free scope is limited to the MIT-licensed code itself.
- 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 MIT license.
- External services such as domain, hosting, database, payment, 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.
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 Hugo 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.
