This is a starter framework for developers building custom, block-based themes. It provides a foundational theme structure and a separate companion plugin to organize site functionality, paired with a Gulp-based build process for front-end assets. It is designed for developers who want a structured, modular starting point to reduce initial setup time and enforce consistent conventions.

• Modular Theme and Plugin Structure: The framework separates core theme templates from site-specific functionality. The companion plugin houses features typically placed in a functions.php file, promoting better code organization and maintainability.
• Gulp Build Process: A pre-configured Gulp workflow compiles SCSS into CSS and processes JavaScript. This automates repetitive tasks like compilation and minification, speeding up front-end development.
• Centralized Configuration: Key settings like editor formats, theme colors, and image sizes are defined in a config.json file. This centralizes management and can automatically generate corresponding SCSS variables and classes.
• Block Development Ready: The structure supports creating custom blocks using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro. Blocks are registered automatically by placing a block.json file and a template in the /blocks directory, following modern WordPress conventions.
• Namespaced PHP Code: The plugin uses Composer for autoloading and organizes PHP classes under defined namespaces. This provides a clean structure for adding custom post types, taxonomies, and other backend logic without manual file includes.
