A lightweight and skeletal WordPress boilerplate theme for HTML5 and beyond. Great as a starting point with powerful features to encourage rapid development for most projects.

  • Reset, normalisation and base font/form styles
  • Adaptive at certain breakpoints and responsive through the middle
  • Sass powered - semantically named files all compiled into a single file
  • Semantic use of HTML5 elements, includes Google HTML5 shiv and respond.js for IE8 Media Queries

WordPress Support

Compatible with WordPress 3.2 and above.

Browser Support

The basic features are all tested from IE7+. Yet to be tested in any other browsers than modern Mozilla, Opera and WebKit builds. Also tested on Safari and Chrome on iOS 5+ and Chrome on Android 3+.

Preprocessors

Although barebones now utilises the powerful Sass CSS preprocessor, you don't have to use it. The main style.css file is not compressed so can be easily changed in a Text Editor.
