Omnira Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You can edit the finished HTML files with any text editor. The build tools are optional and only need three commands; see Quick start: source files.
Do I need a database, PHP or WordPress?
No. Omnira is static HTML, CSS and JavaScript and runs on any web hosting. The only optional server code is a form handler if you want forms to email you.
Are the demo photos included?
No. Photos in the live preview are for demonstration only. Your files contain placeholder images with the same proportions; replace them with your own. See Images.
Can I use one licence for several websites?
A Standard Licence covers one end product (one website for you or one client). For a product sold to many users you need an Extended Licence. See Licence and LICENSE.txt in your download.
Which browsers are supported?
The latest two versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and mobile. Layouts are responsive from small phones (360 px) to large desktop screens.
Is it accessible?
The template includes a skip link, one main heading per page, labelled form fields and buttons, visible keyboard focus, keyboard-friendly menus, tabs, accordions and lightbox, automatic readable text colours and reduced motion for visitors who ask for it. Keep it accessible by writing meaningful alt text for your images.
Does the shop take payments?
No. The shop, cart and checkout pages are designs with working quantities and totals in the browser. Taking orders and payments needs an e-commerce system; you can use these pages as its design or link your buttons to your shop provider.
Does the sign-in page log people in?
No, it's a design. Connect it to your membership or account system.
Can I mix sections from different demos?
Yes. Every section works in every demo and takes on that demo's colours and fonts. See the recipe.
Is there a dark mode?
Any demo can use dark sections ("tone": "dark"), and several demos (Conference, Music Festival, Photography, Portfolio) are designed fully dark. There's no automatic light/dark switch.
Is right-to-left (RTL) supported?
Not in this version.
Will updates overwrite my changes?
If you keep your own styles in src/scss/modules/_my-site.scss and your content in the page and data files, updating means replacing the shared files (build.js, src/lib, src/sections, src/scss except your file, src/js) and keeping yours. The changelog lists what changed in each version.
Can I use a different CSS framework or build tool?
The template uses Bootstrap 5 for the grid and components and a small Node script to build. The generated HTML and CSS are standard and can be used in any workflow.
