Installation

Follow the steps below to setup your site template:

  1. In order to start working with Hintio unzip the downloaded package and open HTML folder to find all ready-to-use template files. Choose one of the demo *.html files (any ready-to-use demo you like) and rename it to index.html.

  2. Next you’ll need to prepare a project for customization. Below is a list of files and folders that are required in the root directory of your project:

    • index.html - your chosen *.html file (renamed already);
    • css folder - stylesheet files;
    • js folder - JavaScript files;
    • fonts folder - icon and lining nums fonts files;
    • img folder for project images and favicon;
    • video folder - project video files;
    • mail.php file for sending e-mails;
    • .htaccess - this file contain rules for files caching on web server;
  3. The other files can be used according to your preferences.

  4. Your project is ready to go! Now you can start adding your texts, images and video to your new awesome website.

  5. After the customization is over, you’ll need to upload the project files to your hosting web server using FTP client or cPanel interface in order to use it on your website.

Files Structure

After downloading and extracting template package you will find 3 folders:

  • HTML: ready to use HTML template;
  • HintioGULP: if you want to totally customize Hintio, you can use this template;
  • Documentation: this help file.

This section describes HTML folder structure. More about HintioGULP folder structure you can find out in HintioGULP section.

Hintio is one page HTML template. So, mostly you will need one *.html file and supporting *.css, *.js, *.php files with some images. All the directories and files are well organized as it shown on the image bellow.

Files Structure Image
  • all HTML files are located in the root directory;
  • separate folders are created for CSS files, JavaScript files, fonts, images and video;
  • source-files folder contains all expanded CSS files, expanded JavaScript files, plugins and components files;
  • mail.php file for sending e-mails is located in the root directory;

HTML structure

Hintio has a simple and easy to customize structure based on Bootstrap 5 Grid. Here is a sample page structure:

    
      <!DOCTYPE html>
      <html lang="en" dir="ltr">

        <head>
          Meta tags, Title, Favicon and Icons, Facebook Metadata, CSS, Custom Browser Color
        </head>

        <body>

          <!-- Old Browsers Support Start -->
          ...
          <!-- Old Browsers Support End -->

          <!-- Custom HTML Start -->

          <!-- Loader Start -->

          <!-- Navigation Start -->
          <nav id="menu" class="menu">
            ...
          </nav>
          <!-- Navigation End -->

          <!-- Main Screen Slider Section Start -->
          <section id="main" class="main">

          <!-- Main Screen Slider Section End -->

          <!-- Contact Section End -->

          <!-- Notify Me Popup Start -->
          <div id="notify" class="popup notify">

          <!-- Notify Me Popup End -->

          <!-- Root element of PhotoSwipe. Must have class pswp. -->
          <div class="pswp" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">

          </div>

          <!-- Custom Cursor -->
          <div class="cursor"></div>

          <!-- Load Scripts Start -->
          ...
          <!-- Load Scripts End -->

        </body>

      </html>
    
  

CSS Files

Hintio template CSS files have a well-organized structure and a table of contents, as you can see on image below:

CSS Structure Image

All CSS files are placed in css folder and have to be included in the <head> tag. Hintio uses uncompressed CSS files. If you want to improve Google PageSpeed Insights performance, you can use minificated files from source-files → hintio-css-min-files.

    
      <!-- Template Styles Start -->
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/loaders/loader.css">
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/plugins.css">
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">
      <!-- Template Styles End -->
    
  

CSS files that have to be included in chosen .html file:

  • loader.css
  • plugins.css
  • main.css

If you want to customize CSS styles, We recommend to create your own custom.css file and include it to Template Styles section of the HTML file. This solution will help you in future updates.

JavaScript Libraries

All JavaScript files are placed in js folder and have to be included before the </body> tag.

  • libs.min.js - all JavaScript libraries that are necessary for Hintio proper work, are сompiled in this file;
  • gallery-init.js - for photoswipe gallery initialization;
  • custom.js - includes other scripts calls and settings;
  • map.js - for Google Map.
    
      <!-- Load Scripts Start -->
      <script src="js/libs.min.js"></script>
      <script src="js/gallery-init.js"></script>
      <script src="js/custom.js"></script>
      <script src="js/maps/map.js"></script>
      <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDNMDtmEsvSevM4ztfsbhLfLNZhKHCvWXk"></script>
      <!-- Load Scripts End -->
    
  

We used minificated libs.min.js file to add all necessary JavaScript libraries to this template. The file contains:

All this uncompressed files you can find in the source-files folder.

04

Fonts

In the Hintio template we used Montserrat Font and Fontawesome Free Iconic Font.

Custom Fonts

In the Hintio template we used one font for headlines, basic text content and additional text:

This font is embedded in the main.css file via @font-face rule:

    
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Fonts Start */
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Montserrat Font */
      @font-face {
        font-family: "Montserrat";
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: 300;
        src: url("../fonts/Montserrat-Light/Montserrat-Light.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
             url("../fonts/Montserrat-Light/Montserrat-Light.woff2") format("woff2"),
             url("../fonts/Montserrat-Light/Montserrat-Light.woff") format("woff"),
             url("../fonts/Montserrat-Light/Montserrat-Light.ttf") format("truetype"),
             url("../fonts/Montserrat-Light/Montserrat-Light.svg#Montserrat") format("svg");
      }
      ...
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Fonts End */
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
    
  

You can customize embedded fonts or embed another fonts for your project in the Fonts section of the main.css file.

Fontawesome free

Hintio uses free version of FontAwesome 6.1.1 iconic font. You can use fontawesome.com/icons page to easily find the icon you want to use. Solid, regular and brands icons are already compiled in the plugins.css file and ready for use.

To change icons, just change the class names: fa-solid fa-heart, fa-brands fa-instagram, fa-regular fa-address-book.

<li>
    <a href="https://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">
        <i class="fa-brands fa-facebook"></i>
    </a>
</li>

More information about FontAwesome you can find on official documentation website - FontAwesome Docs.

        			}
        		}
        	</style>
        	<g>

Plugins

Countdown

Hintio template comes with two countdown types - full countdown and days only countdown. You can choose the one you like!

  • #countdown Countdown Image
  • #countdown-large Countdown Image

Hintio template comes with KBW Countdown Plugin. This plugin can be tricky to set up, but it is very flexible and has a lot of features.

For more details you can see documentation reference page: keith-wood.name/countdownRef.html or see a minimal page with basic settings: keith-wood.name/countdownBasics.html. In our case we are using UTCDate function. (You can also find this function in documentation reference page):

$.countdown.UTCDate(tz, year, month, day, hours, mins, secs, ms)

  • tz - timezone offset, either in hours or minutes, from GMT, for example, Brisbane, Australia, would be +10 or +600;
  • year - local year;
  • month - local month (0 to 11);
  • day - local day in the month;
  • hours - local hour;
  • mins - local minute;
  • secs - local second;
  • ms - local millisecond.

So here: countdown.UTCDate(10, 2022, 11, 22)

  • 10 – timezone;
  • 2022 – local year;
  • 11 – local month;
  • 22 – local day.

Find the Load Scripts section at the end of the <body> and make sure that all the necessary js files are added in the following order:

  • libs.min.js
  • custom.js
    
      <!-- Load Scripts Start -->
      <script src="js/libs.min.js"></script>
      ...
      <script src="js/custom.js"></script>
      ...
      <!-- Load Scripts End -->
    
  

Setting your own date for countdown script can be done in the custom.js file in js folder:

    
      // --------------------------------------------- //
      // KBW-Countdown Start
      // --------------------------------------------- //
      $('#countdown').countdown({until: $.countdown.UTCDate(+10, 2021, 12, 19), format: 'D'});
      $('#countdown-large').countdown({until: $.countdown.UTCDate(+10, 2021, 12, 19), format: 'DHMS'});
      // --------------------------------------------- //
      // KBW-Countdown End
      // --------------------------------------------- //
    
  

Visit KBW Countdown site for more details and settings - keith-wood.name/countdown.html

Swiper Slider

Hintio uses Swiper Slider 8.2.6 plugin for:

Homescreen layout slide slider

Swiper Slider Image

It's a half-screen slider with captions and a slide effect:

    
      <!-- Main Section Slider Start-->
      <div class="media__slider slider-slide">
        <!-- Slider main container -->
        <div class="swiper">
          <!-- Additional required wrapper -->
          <div class="swiper-wrapper">
            <!-- Slides -->
            <!-- slide single -->
            <div class="swiper-slide swiper-slide-1">
              <div class="color-layer color-layer-medium"></div>
              <div class="slide__info">
                <div class="slide__caption" data-swiper-parallax="-150" data-swiper-parallax-opacity="0.5">
                  <span>The case study</span>
                  <p>Photography<br>New brand<br>presentation</p>
                </div>
                <div class="slide__number" data-swiper-parallax="-150" data-swiper-parallax-opacity="0.5">
                  <p>01<span>*05</span></p>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
            ...
          </div>
          <!-- Navigation buttons -->
          <div class="swiper-button-prev link-s">
            <span>prev</span>
          </div>
          <div class="swiper-button-next link-s">
            <span>next</span>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- Main Section Slider End-->
    
  

All slides background images you can replace in the main.css file:

    
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Template Backgrounds Start */
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      ...
      .swiper-slide-1 {
        background-image: url("http://via.placeholder.com/1200x1200");
      }
      ...
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Template Backgrounds End */
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
    
  

Find the Load Scripts section at the end of <body> and make sure that all the necessary js files are added in the following order:

  • libs.min.js
  • custom.js
    
      <!-- Load Scripts Start -->
      <script src="js/libs.min.js"></script>
      ...
      <script src="js/custom.js"></script>
      ...
      <!-- Load Scripts End -->
    
  

If you want to change this slider settings, find the custom.js file in js folder and make the necessary changes to the swiper init lines:

    
      if (sliderSlide.length) {
        setTimeout(function(){
          var swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
            grabCursor: true,
            effect: "creative",
            creativeEffect: {
              prev: {
                translate: ["-20%", 0, -1],
              },
              next: {
                translate: ["100%", 0, 0],
              },
            },
            parallax: true,
            speed: 1300,
            loop: true,
            autoplay: {
              delay: 2000,
              disableOnInteraction: false,
            },
            navigation: {
              nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
              prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
            },

Homescreen layout fade slider

Swiper Slider Image

It's a half-screen slider with captions and a fade effect:

    
      <!-- Main Section Slider Start-->
      <div class="media__slider slider-fade">
        <!-- Slider main container -->
        <div class="swiper">
          <!-- Additional required wrapper -->
          <div class="swiper-wrapper">
            <!-- Slides -->
            <!-- slide single -->
            <div class="swiper-slide swiper-slide-1">
              <div class="color-layer color-layer-medium"></div>
              <div class="slide__info">
                <div class="slide__caption" data-swiper-parallax="-150" data-swiper-parallax-opacity="0.5">
                  <span>The case study</span>
                  <p>Photography<br>New brand<br>presentation</p>
                </div>
                <div class="slide__number" data-swiper-parallax="-150" data-swiper-parallax-opacity="0.5">
                  <p>01<span>*05</span></p>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
            ...
          </div>
          <!-- Navigation buttons -->
          <div class="swiper-button-prev link-s">
            <span>prev</span>
          </div>
          <div class="swiper-button-next link-s">
            <span>next</span>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- Main Section Slider End-->
    
  

All slides background images you can replace in the main.css file:

    
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Template Backgrounds Start */
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      ...
      .swiper-slide-1 {
        background-image: url("http://via.placeholder.com/1200x1200");
      }
      ...
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
      /* Template Backgrounds End */
      /* ------------------------------------------------*/
    
  

Find the Load Scripts section at the end of <body> and make sure that all the necessary js files are added in the following order:

  • libs.min.js
  • custom.js
    
      <!-- Load Scripts Start -->
      <script src="js/libs.min.js"></script>
      ...
      <script src="js/custom.js"></script>
      ...
      <!-- Load Scripts End -->
    
  

If you want to change this slider settings, find the custom.js file in js folder and make the necessary changes to the swiper init lines:

    
      if (sliderSlide.length) {
        setTimeout(function(){
          var swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
            grabCursor: true,
            effect: "fade",
            speed: 1300,
            loop: true,
            autoplay: {
              delay: 2000,
              disableOnInteraction: false,
            },
            navigation: {
              nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
              prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
            },
          });
        },3200);
      };

Animated Backgrounds

All backgrounds CSS styles are compiled in plugins.css file so you don't need to add any CSS files.

Ken Burns

To provide this effect we use Vegas jQuery Plugin . Make sure you have <div id="bgndKenburns"> in *.html file:

<!-- Background Effect Start -->
<div class="fullscreen">
  <div id="bgndKenburns"></div>
</div>
<!-- Background Effect End -->

Find the Load Scripts section at the end of <body> and make sure that all the necessary js files are added in the following order:

...
<script src="js/custom.js"></script>
...
<!-- Load Scripts End-->

To replace or add images to the slideshow, find the custom.js file in js folder and make the necessary changes to the slides array:

$('#bgndKenburns').vegas({
    ...
    slides: [
        { src: '../img/example-slide-1.jpg' },
        { src: '../img/example-slide-2.jpg' },

Self Hosted Video

To provide self-hosted (local) video background feature we use HTML5 <video> tag. Aso we used <source> property with 3 video formats to maximize browser support:

  <video id="main-video" preload="auto" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="muted" poster="img/backgrounds/poster.jpg">

    <source type="video/webm" src="video/video.webm">
    <source type="video/ogv" src="video/video.ogv">
  </video>
</div>
<!-- Background Effect End -->
