barebones

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

Features

  • Reset, normalisation and base font/form styles
  • Build for mobile first, expanding to 1200px (can be extended further)
  • Built using SASS - semantically named files all compiled into a single file
  • Includes Google HTML5 shiv
  • Semantic use of HTML5 elements
  • WAI-ARIA role ready
  • Proprietary baseline and horizontal 960 responsive grid
  • Comes pre-bundled with latest CDN version of jQuery and fallback
  • index.php Loop template
  • Customised functions.php adding theme support for high customisation
  • Minimised HTTP requests for high Web Performance

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 but confident it would work in legacy versions.

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.
