This is Forty, my latest and greatest addition to HTML5 UP and, per its
incredibly creative name, my 40th (woohoo)! It's built around a grid of "image
tiles" that are set up to smoothly transition to secondary landing pages (for
which a separate page template is provided), and includes a number of neat
effects (check out the menu!), extra features, and all the usual stuff you'd
expect. Hope you dig it!
