Developed and maintained by Ashley Nolan & Zander Martineau

Features

• Mobile-first, responsive philosophy
• Rock-solid CSS framework using Sass (.scss) preprocessor
• Starter content styles: typography, grids & components
• Starter form element styles (see demo): stacked on small-screen to 2-column (if you choose) at the breakpoint of your choice, validation states
• Lots of helper classes & Sass mixins for many CSS3 features like media-queries
• Simple Javascript boilerplate that makes very little assumptions about your chosen style or workflow.
• JS bundled with Browserify
• ES2015/ES6 syntax supported using the Babel transpiler
• Grunt task runner used extensively to ease common development bottlenecks
• Sass is compiled using node-sass and we use Autoprefixer to dynamically add vendor prefixes so you don't even have to think about them :)
• PostCSS plugins can also be used to transform your CSS
• Simple server using BrowserSync
