Perch Bootstrap

Perch Bootstrap is a super basic framework to use as a starting point when building a website using Perch CMS. It includes all the stuff I find myself duplicating for each new project.

CSS Reset
A collection of very basic SASS classes and mixins
Grunt configuration to watch, compile and minify JS/SASS

Setup

$ git clone git@github.com:samhicks/Perch-Bootstrap.git

Here's a great article on getting setup with Grunt.

I've done the hard work for you, so once you've installed Node it's basically a simple case of navigating to your project folder in terminal and running the following commands:

npm install
npm install -g grunt-cli
grunt

Don't forget to install the browser plugin to get LiveReload working. Click the LiveReload icon in your browser to activate it.

Other than that you just need to purchase a Perch licence, download the latest version of the CMS and follow these instructions to get it working locally.
