Archit - Responsive HTML5 Template

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing my Template. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to email via my user page contact form here. Thank you so much.

How to install the theme

  1. Make a backup.
  2. Unzip the download package.
    • HTML folder
    • HELP folder
  3. Upload the contents of the HTML folder to rental server while maintaining the existing folder hierarchy.

Note

  • When offline, some plugins may perform poorly or not at all. Please try on a server that is online, has Javascript turned on, and has PHP installed.
  • A text editor is required for editing along with a basic understanding of HTML5 and CSS3.

HTML Structure

I am using 26 HTML files in this theme. This Theme is a responsive layout built on Bootstrap grid system. The general template structure is the same throughout the template. Here is the general structure.

/* Topbar */
<div id="topbar"></div>

/* Header */
<header id="header"></header>

/* Slider */
<div class="tp-banner-container"></div>

/* Contents */
<div class="container"></div>
<div class="container"></div>
<div class="container"></div>
<div class="container"></div>
<div class="container"></div>

/* Footer */
<footer id="footer"></footer>

/* Copyright */
<div id="copyright"></div>

CSS Files and Structure

I am using 5 CSS files in this theme. The "css/style.css" is the main CSS file. If you would like to edit a specific section of the site, simply find the appropriate label in the CSS file, and then scroll down until you find the appropriate style that needs to be edited.

/* bootstrap */
css/bootstrap.css

/* Revolution Slider */
rs-plugin/css/settings.css

/* font Icon */
fonts/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css

/* plugins */
css/plugins.css
	yamm.css
	nivo-lightbox.css
	owl.carousel.css
	animate.css
	YTPlayer.css
	hover.css

/* custom */
css/style.css

JavaScript

This theme imports 8 Javascript files. jQuery is a Javascript library that greatly reduces the amount of code that you must write. The plugin is packed, so you will not need to manually edit anything in the file. If you customize the JavaScript settings, then you will change mainly "js/custom.js".

/* jQuery */
js/jquery-1.11.2.min.js 
js/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js 

/* Bootstrap */
js/bootstrap.min.js 

/* Revolution Slider */
rs-plugin/js/jquery.themepunch.plugins.min.js 
rs-plugin/js/jquery.themepunch.revolution.min.js 

/* Plugins */
plugins.js
	bootstrap-hover-dropdown.min.js 
	jquery.validate.min.js 
	jquery.form.js 
	modernizr.custom.js 
	jquery.hoverdir.js 
	jquery.sticky.js 
	nivo-lightbox.min.js 
	isotope.pkgd.min.js 
	owl.carousel.js 
	jflickrfeed.js 
	jquery.mb.YTPlayer.js 
	jquery.simpleplaceholder.js
	jquery.hashchange.js
	jquery.easytabs.js
	wow.min.js 

/* Custom */
js/custom.js 

/* Google Maps (Only contact.html) */
js/jquery.gmap.min.js

/* Validation Localization (Only contact.html) */
js/localization/messages_fr.js
