Apache-2.0

The license in plain words

Like MIT, you can use and change it for anything, including client work. Keep the license and any NOTICE file, and mark files you changed. It also includes a patent grant from the contributors.

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

Checked on October 27, 2026 from the LICENSE file in the source repository (copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work). Full text: Apache License 2.0. The license file that comes with the template is what counts. This is not legal advice.

Who it suits

Good to know: Apache 2.0 licensed. Needs Hugo to build.

How to use it

This is a Hugo theme, so it is not a single HTML file: you write pages in Markdown and Hugo builds the site. It needs the Hugo program on your computer, or a host that builds it for you.

  1. Start from the theme's guide. Open the GitHub repository and follow its install steps; most themes offer a starter you can copy in one click.
  2. Write your pages in Markdown. Each post or page is a simple text file.
  3. Publish. Free hosts like GitHub Pages, Netlify and Cloudflare Pages can build Hugo sites automatically when you push changes.
  4. Keep the license. Leave the LICENSE file in the theme folder.
