Alloy is a starting point - the begining of a boilerplate and pattern library for all! Using HTML5, LESS and JavaScript to help us build both small and large scaleable websites.
- Grids - more grids than you can shake a stick at, with systems that work for varying viewport sizes
- LESS - base styles, mixins and patterns
- Templates - templates & patterns constructed with handlebars to help you start quickly using atomic theory
- Grunt - the system will use grunt to do a lot of the legwork and compilation of your static site
- Accessibility - we will be working closely to the guidelines to make sure that interactive elements are as accessible as they can be
- Roll our own JavaScript - We will spend the time to create JavaScript and jQuery plugins that answer the problems that we need them to rather than taking off-the-shelf solutions
So much to do and what a fun journey it will be :)
This whole project is based and influenced by many boilerplates and helpers from around the web. I will try to include a full list here for reference.
