Raw Blame History

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 we thought we would 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
Comes pre-bundled with cached CDN version of jQuery
jQuery plugin agnostic
Browserify for modular JavaScript in the browser, stop those spaghetti files!
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
Sass compiling and watching, css minification and live reload support
