Moderat - Experimental One-Page Template Latest Version
HTML Templates Themeforest 4.8 (3.6K reviews)
Moderat is a one-page template built for people who want their portfolio or studio site to feel less like a standard theme and more like a small piece of digital art. The animated background is the first thing you'll notice. It adds a subtle, living texture to the page that keeps attention without pulling focus from the content itself. Typography plays a big role too, with clean letterforms and a clear hierarchy that keeps everything readable. The layout stays airy and uncluttered, so the animation feels like a purposeful accent. A one-page structure keeps navigation simple, and modal windows handle case studies and project details. That means visitors can stay on the main scroll and still explore deeper content in a neat overlay. Six pre-made demos are included, each showing a different way to arrange the same versatile system. You can start from whichever fits your project. No need to plan everything from scratch when you begin.
Under the hood, Moderat relies on the Materialize framework, which follows Google's Material Design guidelines. This gives the template a coherent system of spacing, shadows, and interface components, but the overall design has been customized to feel much more adventurous than stock Material. Responsive behaviour is a major strength. The template pays close attention to small and medium screens, so buttons, grids, navigation, and the animated background all adapt properly on tablets and phones. On desktop, the page feels open and confident; on mobile, nothing gets cramped or accidentally hidden. Readability is never sacrificed for visual flair. Each section flows naturally into the next, and the modal windows remain easy to open and close on any device. If you've worked with one-page templates that look great on a laptop but break on a phone, this one was clearly built to avoid that problem. The animated elements scale down gracefully rather than disappearing, which is a detail many theme buyers overlook.
For developers, Moderat is refreshingly transparent. The code is fully valid, well commented, and structured clearly, so opening it up to customize something doesn't turn into a puzzle. Styles are written in Sass, markup uses Jade (which is now known as Pug), and the build process is managed with Gulp. The included Gulp commands cover tasks you'd actually want: compiling Sass and Jade, minifying CSS with PostCSS, and even compressing images for production. It also includes Pace for loading progress and PHPMailer for form handling. Package managers npm, bower, and Composer are all supported, so you can manage dependencies with the workflow you already know. Code quality tools are also part of the package. ESLint and SCSS lint help you keep your changes consistent with the original codebase. It's not every day that a visually experimental template also turns out to be neat and professional under the hood, but Moderat manages that balance well.
The package includes six demos, the complete source code, and documentation in PDF format. Everything is organized with the expectation that you'll make it your own. One detail to be clear about: the images shown in the demos are not part of the download. They're there to give you a visual sense of the style, and you're expected to replace them with your own photography or graphics. That keeps licensing simple and avoids surprises. The PDF documentation walks through the file structure and the main customization points, including how to run the Gulp build. Even if you're not a hardcore front-end developer, the instructions should be enough to get you moving. Moderat is aimed at designers and creative professionals who want a portfolio site with personality, but don't want to fight their tools. It gives you a visually distinct starting point that still rests on a solid, maintainable foundation. The whole package serves as a complete starting point, not a puzzle piece.
