The main difference of the template is the use of the Materialize framework, based on the principles of material design from Google.

Provided stunning view and responsiveness of the site both on desktops and on mobile devices. A principled and uncompromising approach with regard to download speed of the site allowed achieving actual fast download speeds and high scores on the sites of the testers.
