# barebones

A lightweight and skeletal WordPress boilerplate theme for HTML5 and beyond. There's lots of these out there but most themes include lots of bloat and files which you might not necessarily need, so I thought I'd create my own which is great as a starting point with powerful features to encourage rapid development for most projects.

## Features

* Reset, normalisation and base font/form styles
* Sass powered - semantically named files all compiled into a single file
* Semantic use of HTML5 elements, includes Google HTML5 shiv
* WAI-ARIA role ready
* Uses [bourbon's neat](http://neat.bourbon.io) responsive grid framework
* Comes pre-bundled with cached CDN version of jQuery
* jQuery plugin agnostic
* Basic index.php Loop template
* Customised functions.php adding theme support for high customisation
* Minimised HTTP requests for high Web Performance
* Localised strings for multiple language support
* Grunt.js integration - automatic image optimisation, Sass compiling and watching, css minification and live reload support
