A simple webpage starter template that uses bootstrap and a web server with npm-scripts only.

Overview

If you're looking to streamline your web development process with an efficient template, this simple webpage starter template utilizing Bootstrap and npm-scripts is a fantastic option. Designed for ease of use, it employs a minimalistic approach while providing all the essential features to jumpstart your projects. With Bootstrap as the foundational CSS framework, the template also allows customization through a dedicated custom CSS file generated from Sass, ensuring flexibility for developers.

This starter template stands out due to its incorporation of a local web server with live reload capabilities.
