## Overview
If you're diving into web development and want a straightforward way to get started with Bootstrap and Jekyll, this starter kit is a great option to consider. It provides a unique blend that allows you to create stunning static websites while leveraging the flexibility of Bootstrap 4. However, keep in mind that it's not actively maintained, so you might want to have some familiarity with the setup and potential issues that could arise.
While this starter kit is simple, it does require some basic knowledge of dependencies and HTML file configurations, making it ideal for those who are somewhat experienced but still wish for a manageable entry point into web development frameworks.
