Built-In LESS Compilation & Deployment

This fork of the Bones WordPress starter theme has been enhanced with the wp-less module in order to ease development and deployment of stylesheets using LESS. Because this fork is LESS-oriented, the SCSS stylesheets have been removed.

Support for Bones-LESS

For issues relating to the theme's appearance, template files or behavior, please visit the Bones theme issues page. For any issues relating specifically to the automatic compilation of LESS-based stylesheets, however, hit us with your bug reports right here at Bones-Less's issues page

Bones: A Lightweight Wordpress Development Theme

HEADS UP!!! Bones & Bones (Responsive Edition) have been merged.

Bones is designed to make the life of developers easier. It's built using HTML5 & has a strong semantic foundation. It was updated recently using some of the HTML5 Boilerplate's recommended markup and setup. It's constantly growing so be sure to check back often if you are a frequent user. I'm always open to contribution. :)

Designed by Eddie Machado

Special Thanks to:

  • Paul Irish & the HTML5 Boilerplate
  • Yoast for some WP functions & optimization ideas
  • Andrew Rogers for code optimization
  • David Dellanave for speed & code optimization
  • and several other developers. :)
