This is a starter project for developers building custom themes for a popular CMS. It provides a structured foundation with a modern asset pipeline, removing the need to manually configure build tools. It is aimed at developers who want to focus on theme logic rather than build configuration.

• Asset compilation and bundling: Uses Webpack via Laravel Mix to process JavaScript and SASS/SCSS files. This combines modules, minifies code for production, and automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS.
• Development workflow: Includes Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for live browser updates during development without full page reloads, speeding up the coding process.
• Optimized script loading: Implements code splitting to load only the JavaScript required for each specific page, improving site performance by reducing initial load size.
• Image optimization: Automatically compresses and optimizes images placed in the source directory during development. It can also generate modern .webp format versions for better compression.
• Production utilities: Comes with pre-configured npm scripts for building production-ready assets, optimizing all images, and creating a zip file of the finished theme for deployment.
