I love Bootstrap as a starting point for new projects and Initializr is even better as it packages everything up nicely and adds extras if you want them. However, most new projects for me are WordPress based.
I’ve been meaning to make a standard starting theme but usually getting work done takes precedence over creating tools. However, I finally just decided to spend the time and do it right.
The result is this parent theme: bootstrap_wordpress which takes Responsive Bootstrap, and adds in Modernizr and Respond.
My implementation just takes the Initializr structure, removes a few empty files and adds WordPress functions.php and style.css. I’ve also added a very simple layout using index.php, header.php and footer.php. The point here is not a WordPress theme that works and has extra features – instead it is merely a launch point for a clean HTML5 reponsive project.
I’ve also included a child theme sample, which is where you want to implement your theme. Hope someone finds this useful…oh wait, I already have.
