Features

Bootstrap Integration: Built on Bootstrap, this boilerplate offers a responsive and robust foundation for your theme, ensuring excellent browser compatibility and mobile-first design.
LESS Preprocessor: Utilizes LESS for CSS processing, enabling you to take advantage of variables, mixins, and nesting to write cleaner and more manageable stylesheets.
Bower Package Management: Simplifies the management of external libraries and assets, allowing you to easily include or exclude components based on your project's requirements.
Customizable Framework: Suitable for both forking and adapting the theme. You can make direct changes or create a lightweight "subtheme" to keep the original boilerplate intact for future updates.
Easy Setup: With simple installation instructions via Composer, combined with npm and bower commands, getting started with development is quick and hassle-free.
IE8 Support: While Bootstrap 3 provides some support for IE8, you can easily include polyfills like Respond.js for enhanced compatibility with older browsers.
Source Maps: Designed to work with source maps, making it easier to debug your styles during development.
Automation with Grunt/Gulp: Utilize either Grunt or Gulp to automate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of theme development.
