Bootplate supports child themes to free you to design and build your new website to look however you want while the underlying code base automatically stays up-to-date.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\tExample Themes<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExtend via Plugins<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Build on Bootplate’s secure foundation and extend it using plugins–many of which are pre-integrated.\u00a0 Just activate the plugin you know and love. Bootplate will detect and use it.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\tPlugins<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tComponents<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t
For performance reasons (and because we couldn’t help ourselves), Bootplate includes a few snazzy components to take your web design places you didn’t know it could go.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\tView Components<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMobile-First<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Built for mobile devices (first) and scaled UP to tablets and desktops, you’re website will look and work great on any device, anywhere.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\tView Components<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOptimization<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Bootplate comes with a variety of performance optimization settings to ensure your website loads as wicked-fast as possible.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\tPerformance Settings<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWell Documented<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Great technology demands even better documentation.\u00a0 You’ll find step-by-step instructions, screenshots, and examples in our documentation pages.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\tGet Started Manual<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div><\/section>\nThe Vision<\/h2>\n
Building even totally custom WordPress themes contains a lot of repetition. There are certain templates files you just end up re-creating again and again. Worse, you end up using a lot of functions that make the theme play well with WordPress, popular WordPress plugin classes, as well as different versions of Bootstrap.\u00a0 Worse still, once you’ve actually built that custom site, you have to maintain support for a community of one forever.<\/p>\n
Our vision for Bootplate is pretty simple. Here goes.<\/p>\n
\t\nUse Best Practices<\/h3>\n\n- Automatic Framework Updates (via\u00a0GitHub<\/a> for now)<\/li>\n
- Extended using Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n
- Use the Theme Customizer<\/a><\/li>\n
- Transform using Child Themes<\/a><\/li>\n
- Build on Bootstrap 4 Alpha 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\n
Optimized<\/h3>\n\n- Add CSS Fallbacks for Bootstrap 3.3.6<\/li>\n
- Mobile-first, and Wicked-fast<\/li>\n
- No Branding (at least not ours)<\/li>\n
- Pre-integrate<\/a> Popular Plugins<\/li>\n
- Maintain Free and Open-source Core<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
That’s the vision<\/a> anyway.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\nStarter Child Themes<\/h2>\n
With Bootplate as their framework, here are a few starter child themes<\/a> we’ve done to inspire you with how far you can take it. \u00a0Preview them<\/a>. Download them. \u00a0Abuse them. \u00a0They can take it.<\/p>\n\t
