Overview

An earthy, animated HTML template for organic farms, farm shops, market gardens, creameries, apiaries and farm-to-table kitchens. Harvella ships three home pages, a light and a dark theme, right-to-left support, and farm logic that is worked out rather than typed in: a harvest box priced as you build it, a growing calendar for every crop, farm visits with places left and guest prices, the farm shop’s live open status, the next date of every event, a recipe scaler and a shop with a bag, coupon, shipping and tax.

What’s included

• 3 home pages, each with its own scroll moment: Season Shift (the farm-year band ripens from spring green to harvest gold), Produce Depths (produce cut-outs float on three depths round the market copy) and Harvest Figures (the season’s harvest adds up toward its goals)
• Light and dark mode on one switch in every header, remembered between visits and applied before the page paints
• Right-to-left stylesheets and a flag language picker in every header: a right-to-left language turns any page around
• WebGL layers — the Wheat Field swaying at the edges of the heroes and banners, and a seedling drawn in light in the footer — tinted by the theme colours
• Harvest box builder: size, how often, extras and delivery zone, priced a box and a month, with the saving and this month’s contents
• Growing calendar of 36 crops by month, with kinds, search and a month picker; “ripe this month” on Home 2
• Four-step Visit The Farm wizard: experience, day and start time with places left, guests at their own prices, confirm
• Farm shop hours with the live open status in every top bar, the footer and the contact page
• Events dated from repeat rules (every Saturday, the first Friday, a yearly day); recipes with a servings scaler
• The farm shop: categories, price, sort and search, product page, bag, coupon, free-shipping meter, tax, checkout with an order number, wishlist
• Farmers, gallery with filters, history, journal with search, FAQ with search, account pages, coming soon, 404
• Furrow Rows preloader, a wheat-ear cursor, Sprout reveals with field-line rules, Swiper sliders and Fancybox popups
• Fully responsive, W3C-valid, zero console errors

Getting Started

Thank you for choosing Harvella. Follow the steps below to get your site live.

1. Open locally

Unzip the downloaded package and open harvella/index.html in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). No build tools or server are required — the box builder, calendar, booking, events, recipes and shop all work straight from the files.

2. Deploy to a server

Upload the contents of the harvella/ folder to your hosting provider using an FTP client (such as FileZilla) or your hosting control panel. Once uploaded, navigate to your domain and the template will load immediately.

3. Customise

All custom styling lives in assets/css/style.css (with a numbered Table of CSS at the top) and assets/css/responsive.css. Colours and fonts are controlled by CSS variables — see Colors & Fonts. Hours, crops, products, boxes, visits, events, recipes and the harvest figures live in one place — see Farm Logic.

File Structure

Below is an overview of the key files and folders included in this template.

Folder Structure

The package unzips to two folders: Documentation/ (this guide) and harvella/, the template. Every page sits in the template’s root; everything the pages load sits under assets/:

To publish the site, upload the contents of harvella/ to your web root. Photos keep their folder, file name and size when you replace them, so no page needs editing.

Colors & Fonts

The whole design is driven by CSS variables declared at the top of style.css. Change a token once and every section, button and card updates. Colours used with transparency have an -rgb twin (for example --hv-green-rgb) — change both together.

Field green fills the buttons, bands, date tags and the furrow line under every title; harvest gold is the accent of prices, the crest and the night bands, with a darker gold for small text. The paper grounds carry a fibre grain and tear into their neighbours with the torn edges in img/textures/; the footer sits on charcoal. --hv-bg, --hv-surface, --hv-paper, --hv-heading and --hv-text are the semantic names the components use — the dark theme swaps those (see Light & Dark Mode).

Fonts

Two Google Fonts are loaded in the head of each page: Merriweather (headings, prices and figures) and Roboto Slab (body, navigation, buttons and labels). Swap them by editing the Google Fonts link and the --hv-ff-head / --hv-ff-body variables.

Logo

The logo is a round emblem — a green disc, cream field rows running to a low hill and a gold seedling rising over them — beside HARVELLA in Merriweather capitals with an ORGANIC FARM line. It ships as ready-made PNG files in assets/img/logo/:

• logo.png — for light grounds: the headers
• logo-light.png — for dark grounds: the charcoal footer, the farm-kitchen header, dark mode
• mark.png — the emblem alone, used by the preloader
• favicon.png — the browser tab icon

The logo’s lettering appears only inside the images. To use your own logo, replace these files; the header sizes the logo by its height, so a wider or narrower file needs no CSS change.

Light & Dark Mode

Every header (and the mobile menu) has a theme switch. The choice is saved in the browser under the key harvella-theme and applied by a one-line script in the <head> before the page paints, so a dark visitor never sees a light flash. The switch sets data-theme="dark" on the <html> tag.

• Tokens — the dark values sit in one block, [data-theme="dark"] { … }, right after :root in style.css. Change a dark colour there.
• Bands that stay dark — sections with the class is-night (the harvest figures, the box and visit summaries, the calendar side panel, the charcoal footer) are dark in both themes. A light card placed inside one takes hv-on-light to keep its own ink.
• Illustrated icons — each icon ships in a sepia and a cream ink; the right one shows by theme and ground on its own. The torn paper edges have their own dark files, swapped by the theme tokens.
• Start dark — to open the site dark for first-time visitors, add data-theme="dark" to the <html> tag of each page; the switch still works and is still remembered.

Farm Logic

The figures on every page come from one data block, JS block 09 Farm Data near the top of main.js (var FARM). Edit it once and the cards, prices, calendars and totals follow. Prices are in US dollars; times are minutes after midnight (480 = 8:00 am); months are 1–12.

The harvest box

Each box is the size’s price less the rhythm’s discount, plus the extras, plus the zone’s delivery fee; a month is that times the deliveries a month. The first delivery falls on the zone’s weekday at least two days out.

Visiting the farm

The wizard lists the next days the chosen experience runs, drops today’s start times within the hour, and works out places already taken from the date so the demo looks lived-in — replace taken() (block 32 Farm Visit Booking) with your own bookings. Continue never blocks; Confirm checks the guests and details and gives a reference made from the date.

How the shop totals

The bag, the wishlist and the applied coupon are kept in the browser (localStorage), so they follow the visitor from page to page. The first visit starts with a small demo bag and wishlist so every shop page has something to show; to start empty, set the two demo lists in doShop() (block 28 Farm Shop) to []. Checkout, the box and visit bookings confirm on screen with a reference — connect them to your own systems to take real orders.

WebGL Layers

Two small WebGL shaders draw the moving layers: the wheat — stylised stalks standing in a band at each edge of the heroes, the page banners, coming soon and 404, swaying at their own pace, gold ears leaning on — and the seedling — the footer’s brand object, a seedling drawn in light that grows when it is first seen, unfurls its two leaves and breathes, with motes of light rising from the soil. Each is one canvas:

<canvas class="hv-gl" data-gl="wheat" aria-hidden="true"></canvas>

• Colours — each layer reads three colours and an opacity from CSS variables on its canvas or section: --gl-1, --gl-2, --gl-3 and --gl-alpha. The theme switch repaints them.
• Performance — a layer only runs while its section is on screen and the tab is visible. Visitors who prefer reduced motion get one still frame. Without WebGL, the section’s own background shows.
• Remove one — delete the canvas; nothing else depends on it.

RTL (Right To Left)

Harvella is RTL-ready: the layout with its paddings and margins, the sliders and the animations all mirror. Right to left comes from the stylesheets, not from separate pages: the language picker (a flag and a code) beside the light / dark switch lists the languages that read left to right and right to left. Choosing Arabic stores the language and the direction (keys harvella-lang and harvella-dir) and reloads; the one-line script in <head> then sets dir="rtl" and swaps the three stylesheets for the files named in their data-rtl attribute before the page paints. Nothing is translated — you bring your own right-to-left copy. To make a page right to left for good:

1. Set The Direction

Add dir="rtl" to the page’s <html> tag (and set lang to your language):

<html lang="en" class="no-js" dir="rtl">

2. Swap Three Stylesheets

The scripts read the direction from the dir attribute: sliders and every move that must mirror follow it on their own. The growing calendar and the month bars still read January to December, left to right.

JavaScript Guide

All custom behaviour lives in assets/js/main.js, wrapped in a jQuery IIFE and organised into 33 numbered blocks (see the JS INDEX comment at the top of the file):

• 01–08 — Preloader, Sticky Header, Offcanvas Menu, Scroll Reveals, Back To Top, Anchor Scroll, Light & Dark Mode, Direction, WebGL Textures. The core every page shares: the Furrow Rows preloader, the header, the Sprout reveals, the theme and direction switch and the WebGL layers.
• 09–10 — Farm Data, Farm Clock. Farm Data holds every figure; Farm Clock works out the farm shop’s open status and the next date of each event.
• 11–19 — Custom Select, Counters & Rings, Hero Sliders, Card Sliders, Accordion, Filter Tabs, Grid Search, Newsletter, Choice Cards. Shared components: selects, counters, sliders, accordions, filters, search, newsletter, choice cards.
• 20–23 — Wheat-Ear Cursor, Season Shift, Produce Depths, Harvest Figures. The wheat-ear cursor and the three home pages’ scroll moments.
• 24–33 — Harvest Box Builder, Season Calendar, Recipe Scaler, Contact Form, Farm Shop, Account Forms, Article Tools, Launch Countdown, Farm Visit Booking, FAQ Search. The feature pages: the harvest box builder, the growing calendar, the recipe scaler, contact, the shop, accounts, the article tools, the countdown, farm visit booking and FAQ search.

Each block is a self-contained doSomething() function that safely skips pages where its section is not present — you can delete any block you do not need. Every animation respects prefers-reduced-motion automatically: content appears in its final state and the scrubbed scenes rest in place.

Images

The download package ships with neutral placeholder images so you can see every layout at the correct dimensions. Replace them with your own photos using the same file names, or update the src attributes. Images are grouped inside assets/img/:

The logo files, the illustrated icons, the paper and torn-edge textures, the title sprigs, the wheat-ear cursor and the language flags are included and ready to use. All demo photography shown on the live preview is for preview purposes only and is not included in the download.

Contact Form

The contact form and the comment form post to sendmail.php, a lightweight AJAX mail handler. The success or error message appears under the button without reloading the page. The newsletter, harvest box, visit booking, checkout, login, register and forgot-password forms are demo forms: they confirm on screen and are ready to connect to your own systems. To activate the mail handler on your server:

1. Set your email address

Open sendmail.php and replace the placeholder recipient at the top of the file with your own address:

$email = 'example@example.com';

2. Upload to a PHP host

The form needs a server with PHP mail() support (virtually every shared host). It will not send from your local computer or from a static-only host — there the form shows a friendly “upload to a PHP-enabled host” notice instead.

3. Optional: enable Google reCAPTCHA v3

Invisible reCAPTCHA v3 spam protection is already built into the handler. It stays dormant until the form submits a token — that is why no badge or checkbox appears out of the box. To switch it on:

• Create v3 keys (a site key and a secret key) for your domain in the Google reCAPTCHA admin console
• In sendmail.php, replace YOUR_RECAPTCHA_V3_SECRET_KEY with your secret key
• In contact.html, add a hidden token field inside the form and load the reCAPTCHA script with your site key just before </body>:

<!-- inside the form -->
<input type="hidden" name="g-recaptcha-response" id="g-recaptcha-response">

<!-- before the closing </body> tag -->
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=YOUR_SITE_KEY"></script>
<script>
  grecaptcha.ready(function () {
    grecaptcha.execute('YOUR_SITE_KEY', { action: 'contact' }).then(function (token) {
      document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token;
    });
  });
</script>

Once the token field is present, sendmail.php verifies every submission with Google and rejects low-score (bot) requests.
