Vesper is a responsive DLE 21 template for sites with films, series, cartoons and anime. It looks like a big streaming service: light pages, a dark header and cinematic covers, horizontal poster rows with arrows and a film magazine.

Highlights

  • The film page comes alive: a muted YouTube trailer plays in the background, one button turns the sound on. No trailer — a still from the film slowly drifts.
  • Home: an “Editor’s choice” slider with title logos, “New”, “Premieres”, “Series”, “Top 10”, “Exclusive” and “Most watched” rows, genre tiles and a magazine with sections.
  • A hover card on posters: synopsis, quality, age rating, runtime, ratings, likes and a “Watch” button.
  • “Search / Filters” catalogue without reloads: genres, countries, years, dubbing, IMDb rating, quality, search by title and cast, sorting and “Show more”.
  • A separate watch page with the player, seasons and episodes.
  • Personal area: favourites, “Watched”, likes, series subscriptions, messages, profile.

Styled pages

Every DLE page: home, categories and catalogue, full story, search, tags, favourites, profile, private messages, registration, pop-up login, password recovery, add news, statistics, feedback, static pages, threaded comments, polls, print version, “site offline” and 404. Plus a magazine with its own cards and article page.

Bundled plugins

The template ships with the “Vesper: extras” plugin, which adds what DLE itself lacks: catalogue filters and search, the watch page and “Already watched” with its own “Watched” page. The code is open.

Together with DLE Movie Importer PRO

In the “Extended” version the site fills itself: films and series with a player, seasons and episodes, actors and directors with photos, collections, franchises and new-episode subscriptions — all styled to match. Without the module the template works the same, these sections are simply absent.

Fonts and Font Awesome icons are bundled, no external requests.

5 plugins included

Installed together with the template and tested with it. Nothing to buy separately.

  • Trailer background

    The film page plays a muted YouTube trailer from a template field in the background; one button turns the sound on. It pauses when scrolled away; without a trailer a still slowly drifts.

    included

  • Catalogue filters and search

    A catalogue without reloads: several genres, countries and dubbings at once, year or decade, IMDb 7+ and 8+, HD, search by title, actor and director, four sort orders, a result counter and “Show more”.

    included

  • Watch page

    The “Watch” button opens a separate dark page with the player, seasons and episodes and the discussion. The film page stays light and keeps its canonical address.

    included

  • “Already watched”

    An “Already watched” button on the film page and a personal “Watched” page in the user menu; guests are offered to sign in.

    included

  • DLE Movie Importer PRO

    Our auto-import module: films and series with a player, seasons and episodes, actors with photos, collections, franchises and new-episode subscriptions. All its pages are styled like Vesper; the module licence is included in “Extended”.

    • The site name comes from DLE settings: logo, footer and row headings
    • Posters are real images with alt text and lazy loading; the slider loads backgrounds as they appear
    • Catalogue shows 42 per page with full rows, “Show more” updates the address, search also matches the original title
    • Cleaner for search engines: H1 on the home page, noindex on service pages, no hidden DLE blocks or extra links in cards

    Fixed 2

    • The watch page opens even with “Handle incorrect friendly URLs” enabled
    • Fixed people and collection pagination, rules and stats links; the Magazine stays hidden until it has posts
