• Development Utilities: Includes custom template tags and functions that keep your code clean and prevent duplication. It also provides an optional sample custom header implementation for reference.
• Responsive Navigation: Comes with a JavaScript file that automatically converts the main menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, providing a responsive foundation ready for your custom styling.
• Layout Flexibility: Features two sample CSS layouts in the /layouts/ directory for creating sidebars on either side of your content, offering a starting point for common structural patterns.
• Helpful Templates: Includes a helpful 404 error page template and is licensed under GPLv2, allowing you to use and modify it freely for any project.
