HTML and CSS template by Ultimate Web Templates

Manual

A documentation and help center template: a search-first home with topic cards and popular articles, then a full docs layout with a sticky sidebar, an article with code block, callouts and steps, an on-this-page outline, "was this helpful" buttons and previous and next links.

MIT Free for commercial and client use. Keep the license file; no visible credit needed.

Premium, and free. We designed and built this template ourselves to the standard of a paid theme: bundled fonts, small working extras and a fast, accessible build with no frameworks. It is free for anything, including client work, under the MIT license. The footer has a small credit link to us; keeping it helps, but you may remove it. See all premium templates.

The license in plain words

Use it for anything, including paid client work, change it however you like and even share your changed copy. The one rule: keep the copyright notice and license text with the code (for example the LICENSE file). You do not have to show a credit on the page.

  • Commercial and client sitesYes
  • Change the code and designYes
  • Visible credit requiredNo
  • Keep the license text in the filesYes

Checked on October 29, 2026 from our own LICENSE.txt, included in the download (Copyright (c) 2026 Ultimate Web Templates). Full text: MIT License. The license file that comes with the template is what counts. This is not legal advice.

Who it suits

Good to know: Part of our free Premium collection. Fonts (Figtree and JetBrains Mono) are bundled under the SIL Open Font License, so the page needs nothing from other servers. No photos included: swap the drawings for your own images. The footer credit link is optional: you may remove it.

How to use it

  1. Get the files. Use Make it yours to add your name and colors and download a ready zip, or download the original from the official page.
  2. Edit the text and images. Open index.html in a code editor (VS Code is free), change the words and swap the photos for your own, keeping the same file names or updating the links.
  3. Check the license step. Leave the LICENSE file in the folder.
  4. Put it online. Upload the folder to your web host with its file manager or FTP, or use a free static host. Our guide shows how to put a template online.

New to this? The download includes START-HERE.html: open it in your browser for six simple steps written for this template, from changing the words to putting it online. Or read our beginner guide.

Write your site with AI

Answer a few questions and we turn them into a ready prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, written for the sections of Manual. Paste it in and you get the text for the whole page. Nothing you type is sent to us.

The buttons copy the prompt first; Gemini opens empty, so paste it in. Check every fact the AI writes before you publish, and add your real prices and reviews yourself. More tips in our guide to building a website with AI.
