📦 Step 1: Download & Extract

Download your template ZIP file, extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip, and open the /HTML folder which contains all your website files.

📁 Step 2: Understand Structure

Your template contains index.html for homepage, /assets folder for CSS, JS, images, and PHP files, and /pages folder for inner pages.

🌐 Step 3: Upload to Server

Login to your hosting cPanel, open public_html directory, upload all template files, and extract if needed. Your site will then run on your domain.

💻 Step 4: Run on Localhost

Install XAMPP, place your files in C:\xampp\htdocs\, and open http://localhost/HTML/index.html in your browser.

✏️ Step 5: Customize Content

Edit HTML files to change text content, replace images in /assets/images folder, and modify styles in CSS files to match your brand.

⚙️ Step 6: Test Everything

Check all pages for errors, test contact forms to ensure they work, and verify mobile responsiveness across different devices.

🚀 Step 7: Done!

Your HTML template is now installed and ready to use. Start adding your products, blog posts, or services to launch your website.
