Start with Vender

Your reference for installing, adapting and connecting the HTML theme. Version 0.9.0-rc.1 is a private release candidate.

Preview your download

1. Extract your edition ZIP into a working folder.
2. Read the included START-HERE.md and LICENSE-AND-ASSETS.md.
3. In a terminal inside that folder, use Vite for a local preview:

npx vite@8.3.0 --host 127.0.0.1

This command requires Node.js 20.19+ or 22.12+ and npm. On first use, npx downloads Vite after its install prompt. Open the local address printed in the terminal, normally http://localhost:5173/. Stop the server with Ctrl+C when finished. Alternatively, serve the folder with Python 3: python3 -m http.server 8080 --bind 127.0.0.1.

Make your first edit

Open index.html in your editor, change the main heading, save and refresh. Keep an untouched copy of the original download so you can compare your changes.

The customer package runs as ordinary HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It does not require the author's packaging scripts, source PNGs or a frontend framework.
