How to Retheme an HTML Template in 10 Minutes

Every UIXDraft theme uses CSS custom properties for design tokens. Changing the theme is as simple as editing the :root block:

:root {
  --purple: #a78bfa;   /* primary accent — change to your brand colour */
  --blue:   #38bdf8;   /* secondary accent */
  --green:  #34d399;   /* success / positive */
  --bg:     #06080f;   /* page background */
  --card:   #0d1117;   /* card background */
  --t1:     #f1f5f9;   /* primary text */
  --t2:     rgba(255,255,255,.55); /* secondary text */
}

Edit these 7 values and every element across all 180+ templates updates instantly. That's a complete rebrand in under 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HTML website theme?
An HTML website theme is a pre-designed set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that define the visual appearance of a website. Unlike WordPress themes (which require a CMS), HTML themes are standalone files that work on any web host without server-side software.
Where can I find free HTML website themes?
HTML5 UP offers ~50 free HTML themes under Creative Commons Attribution license. Templated.co offers 845 free themes. For commercial projects without attribution requirements, UIXDraft's 180+ themes at $35 one-time are the better choice for client work.
How do I change the colour scheme of an HTML theme?
Edit the :root CSS block at the top of the stylesheet. Change the --primary, --accent, --bg, and --text variable values to your brand colours. All elements using those variables update instantly — a complete colour rebrand in under 5 minutes.
Are HTML themes better than WordPress themes?
HTML themes are faster (no PHP processing, no WordPress overhead), simpler (no plugin conflicts, no database), cheaper to host (free on Cloudflare Pages/Netlify), and easier to hand off to clients. WordPress themes are better when non-developers need to update content regularly.
Can I use HTML themes for multiple websites?
With UIXDraft's commercial licence, yes — one $35 purchase covers unlimited websites and client projects. WordPress ThemeForest licences typically restrict themes to one domain. Verify the licence terms before using any theme across multiple client sites.
