IronStrap Child

IronStrap Child is a starter framework for developers who build custom child themes for sites powered by the popular content management system. It provides a clean, minimal codebase that eliminates repetitive setup tasks, allowing you to focus on unique design and functionality.

• Pre-built template hierarchy: Includes essential template files (header, footer, sidebar, single, page, archive) with proper hooks and filters, reducing initial scaffolding time.
• Optimized enqueue system: Automatically loads parent theme styles and scripts correctly, preventing common conflicts and ensuring proper dependency management.
• Modular file structure: Organizes custom functions, custom post types, and shortcodes into separate files for easier maintenance and scalability.
• Built-in utility functions: Offers helper functions for common tasks like pagination, breadcrumbs, and excerpt customization, reducing the need for third-party plugins.
• Responsive-ready base CSS: Includes a lightweight, mobile-first grid and typography foundation that works with any parent theme's design.

This framework is ideal for developers who need a reliable starting point for child theme projects, especially those working on multiple sites or client work. It saves hours of setup per project and enforces best practices for code organization and performance.
