Other preprocessed languages like LESS offer similar features, but don’t have quite the same following. Sass isn’t the only game in town, either. It is more terse than CSS and generally improves the maintainability of a site. Sass offers a great deal of functionality missing from vanilla CSS, like functions, mixins, and variables. Sass is a preprocessing language that gets translated into CSS. So, the question becomes: How do I use progressive tools like Sass without touching the command line? What is Sass I don’t begrudge developers who work in Terminal all day, but my skill set doesn’t extend to the command line.
It incorporates a number of other fixes and suggestions, some of which were written by others.If you are like me, then you probably don’t like working on the command line if other options are available. This template was built by Danny Smith ( and is based on HTML5 Boilerplate. If you'd like to contribute, go ahead and fork.
This template currently uses Version 2.0.3 () but may have been updated with some of the more recent changes. I'll be writing about building fluid grids soon, but theres some very sparce info here. You should always build a grid that fits your design so this is only provided as an example. You can turn the overlay off by setting display: none on #overlay in _grid.kit, or by turning off the import for that file. The bones for creating a fluid grid using nice round numbers are already present in the template, and an overlay is provided for use in development. One is at 20px and the other at 26px as these are the most common line-heights in my work. Two baseline images are included for use with the grid overlay. Because rems aren't widely supported, A pixel value is always declared first. This means that 1rem = 10px so the maths is a little easiter. The base font size is reduced to 10px using a percentage and thereafter rems are used to declare font-sizes and heights, based on this value.

As a consiquence, it keeps the typography and layout code to a minimum. It only contains code that I find myself using in every project. This template aims to keep superfluous code to a minimum. Other than the individual HTML pages, the following files are generated by CodeKit: Other pages should be dropped in the root and import _head and _foot like this.
