Overview

The jekyll-postcss-browserifyjs-standard-style project is a powerful and opinionated boilerplate designed for building static websites with ease. Leveraging the strengths of tools like Jekyll, Gulp, PostCSS, and Browserify, this setup provides a streamlined workflow for both development and deployment. It aims to simplify the process of creating responsive and visually appealing websites while also facilitating code management and asset optimization.

By integrating various front-end technologies, this boilerplate not only supports efficient coding practices but also ensures that developers can focus on crafting content without getting bogged down by complicated build processes. From image optimization to live reloading, it encompasses everything needed to transform ideas into fully functional web pages.

Features

• Gulp Automation: Utilizes Gulp to handle common development tasks such as compiling source code, watching for file changes, and automating deployment processes.
• Jekyll Integration: Employs Jekyll as a robust static site generator, making it easy to harness the Liquid templating language for dynamic content rendering.
• PostCSS Support: Includes PostCSS for advanced CSS functionalities, allowing for file imports, url rebasing, future-friendly syntax, and automatic vendor prefixing.
• Browserify Functionality: Enables the use of Browserify to manage JavaScript modules and bundle dependencies efficiently for the browser.
• Image Compression: Integrates imagemin for reducing the size of image files, enhancing loading times without sacrificing quality.
• SVG Sprite Generation: Automatically creates and optimizes an SVG sprite from raw SVG icon files, making icon management seamless.
• Live Reloading with Browsersync: Facilitates real-time testing on multiple devices by using Browsersync, ensuring that changes are reflected immediately in the browser.
• Production Mode Optimization: Offers a production-ready build process that minifies and optimizes files for deployment, mirroring the live environment during local testing.
