Assemble Template

A boilerplate to generate static HTML pages using Assemble.io. Livereload served using grunt-connect and grunt-contrib-watch.

Managing a library of Static HTML pages can be daunting, especially when you're making miniscule amends. Assemble.io generates your HTML from handlebars templates, so changes made are reflected across all pages.

What projects can I use assemble-template for?

Building and maintaining lightweight, CMS-less websites
Wireframes and scaffolding
HTML Emails
