Make it feel like yours.

01. A warm welcome.

Extract the ZIP, open a terminal inside the Veloura folder, and start the included local preview server. The template itself is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript; there is no build step and no npm dependency installation.

npm run dev

Public website:  http://localhost:8080/
Admin workspace: http://localhost:8080/admin/index.html
Documentation:   http://localhost:8080/documentation/index.html

The included server needs Node.js 18 or later. Alternatively, run python -m http.server 8080 from the Veloura folder. Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop the server.

02. One coordinated experience.

03. Familiar style. A new identity.

The design retains the template's original Poppins headings and interface text, Lato supporting text, pink-to-coral gradient, generous rounded controls and decorative style. The added admin layer adapts spacing and layout without introducing a second UI framework.

Web fonts load from Google Fonts. No font binaries are shipped. Offline, system fallbacks are used. Public Font Awesome icons are locally rendered SVG outlines; the new admin uses local inline SVG interface icons.

04. A workspace that responds.

Open Admin Panel in the public navigation. Use the sidebar to move between the pages below. The search button or Ctrl/Cmd + K opens a page finder. On small screens, the menu button opens the responsive sidebar.

Browser-local data

Edits use the localStorage key veloura:workspace:v1. Reloading a page on the same origin keeps your edits where storage is available. Different domains, ports, browsers and devices have separate data. Clearing browser storage removes your changes. When storage is blocked, the workspace falls back to temporary in-memory data.

Only fictional records are included. Membership invoices are illustrations; no card details are stored or processed. Moderation uses initials and sample text, never a real identity document or a claim about a stock-photo model. Conversation replies are saved as local previews and are not sent.

Reset and exports

The settings page provides a confirmed reset and JSON export. Member, invoice and review tables offer CSV exports. CSV cells are quoted and formula-like values are neutralized. Invoice print preview uses the browser's print dialog and is marked as a sample, not a tax invoice.

05. Shared building blocks.

The admin loads the supplied style.css, shortcode.css and Bootstrap styles. Its UI/shortcodes page reuses actual original patterns, including main-btn, button1-wrapper, btn1, accordion1-main-wrapper and Bootstrap dismissible alerts.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/shortcode.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/admin.css">

<button class="main-btn">Save changes</button>
<div class="accordion1-main-wrapper">...</div>

These are HTML component demonstrations, not WordPress shortcode tags or a server-side page builder. The original 14 shortcode demonstration pages are preserved and linked from the admin library.

06. A considered visual world.

Sixteen Pexels photographs replace the legacy photo references across the public layouts and image demonstrations. They are currently remote references, not downloaded photo files bundled in the ZIP. An SVG fallback is shown when an inline image cannot load. External CSS background images also require internet access.

Make the photos local

python tools/localize_images.py --check
python tools/localize_images.py

Run the helper on a network with access to Pexels. It downloads the 16 images into images/pexels/, then switches HTML, CSS, SCSS and admin media references to local paths. All downloads must succeed before source references are changed. It preserves original credits in documentation/image-sources.json. Google web fonts still require internet access after photo localization.

Source credits

Read the Pexels license and terms for your intended use. Stock-photo models are illustrative, not members or endorsers. The public demo includes that disclosure. This project does not verify individual model/property releases for every downstream use.

07. Demo vs. production.

The interface is a front-end template. The following services are not implemented: real authentication or authorization, server-side database storage, paid subscriptions, payment processing, email delivery, live member messaging, file uploads, identity verification, secure moderation, or a CMS that rewrites the public pages.

Admin member totals and invoice totals are computed from local fictional records. Historical chart values are explicitly illustrative. Content status and date controls are previews, not a scheduler or publishing service. Public shop, contact and member pages remain interface examples. The inherited PHP contact handler is disabled and returns HTTP 501; it cannot send email to the original author.

Before a public launch

Connect your own server/API, implement authentication and role checks on the server, validate inputs, rate-limit endpoints, add CSRF protection where applicable, secure uploads and stored data, integrate a payment provider, and provide accurate policies. Audit inherited library versions and commercial component licenses, then test the deployed site in your target browsers. This package is not a security or marketplace-approval certification.

08. Preview and publish.

For the local preview, npm run dev serves the site on port 8080. Set a different port with node tools/serve.mjs 8081. The bundled server is read-only, has no database, and deliberately does not execute PHP.

For static hosting, upload the website files and directories while preserving their relative paths. The entry page is index.html; the admin entry is admin/index.html. No compilation is required. Keep the admin clearly labeled as a demo unless you implement real server-side protection. The PHP file is a disabled example, not an operational contact endpoint.

Quality checks

See QA-REPORT.md for the exact checks performed and environment limitations. The final audit covers local resource references and syntax, with Chromium layout and interaction checks on inlined copies of the local files. Test actual hosted navigation, Pexels images, Google Fonts, forms and any production integrations before launch.

09. Keep the provenance.

The uploaded template identified itself as Fervor v3.0.0 by Webstrot. Visible promotional author credits are removed from the public UI, but original provenance and third-party legal notices are retained in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and library source headers.

10. Find your page.
