Inside the design

A restrained masthead, generous typographic hierarchy, and a newspaper-inspired reading rhythm put writing at the center of the page.

Independent writers, small journals, and personal essay collections that can start as a single static page.

• Editorial masthead and story hierarchy
• Readable complete sample essays
• Native expandable reading sections
• No external fonts or dependencies

Start with your own content

Replace the sample essays, bylines, and publication information. This is a static journal layout; adding a publishing system or subscriptions is a separate integration.

1. Download and extract the ZIP, keeping its folder structure intact.
2. Open index.html in a browser, then edit the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in your editor.
3. Replace the fictional text, demo contact details, titles, image descriptions, and any sample pricing.
4. Follow the included README before publishing, including removing the preview-only noindex tag from your customized site.

These files are static. No message is sent, account created, or payment processed by the template. The embedded preview is isolated from MRHTML; open the full preview to inspect it in its own browser tab.

Code and asset licenses

Original template code is provided under the MIT license included in the ZIP. The visible Designed by MRHTML footer credit uses rel="nofollow"; the MIT license does not require you to keep that visible link.

This design uses original HTML, CSS, and local vector artwork. No external fonts or image services are needed.
