A template for rapid prototyping of static sites and applications. It's built on Jekyll so you don't have to repeat yourself and uses the HTML5 Boilerplate index.html and file structure, a Sass port of Twitter's Bootstrap CSS, Bootstrap JS, and thoughtbot's Bourbon Sass mixins.

Overview

The Static Prototyping Framework is an innovative template designed for quick prototyping of static websites and applications. Built on Jekyll, this framework simplifies the development process by utilizing a clean file structure from HTML5 Boilerplate along with a Sass implementation of Bootstrap CSS and its JavaScript plugins. This combination allows developers to create responsive and modern web applications without the repetitive coding associated with traditional methods.

With the integration of Jekyll, users can manage their HTML in a DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) manner, benefiting from a streamlined workflow. This setup not only facilitates the generation of static sites but also provides a local web server for testing and development purposes, ensuring a smooth experience when implementing external libraries like TypeKit.
