Hi! Would be nice to have html-version of sage with all frontend features: bower, gulp, scss.  
I got to situation were I working on the project with a team: designer, html-coder and me (as a wordpress-developer). So if we could have html-version of sage it would be easy to code a layout that is easy to convert later to the proper wordpress theme.

Anybody think the same?

I think you just need “Bootstrap” HTML for that, dunno if it has much to do with Sage.

My workaround for this is to code the components (HTML, CSS & JS) in a toolkit first and then import the CSS and JS assets into Sage as a bower/npm module.

This link gives a bit more info on why: [http://fbrctr.github.io/getting-started/what-is-a-toolkit.html](http://fbrctr.github.io/getting-started/what-is-a-toolkit.html) (the toolkit generator I’ve been using is called [Fabricator](http://fbrctr.github.io/))

So, I think html-version of sage would defenitely get it’s audience

@romapad it already exists: [https://github.com/JulienMelissas/front-end-template](https://github.com/JulienMelissas/front-end-template) by @JulienMelissas

You can also use a [Gulp webapp Yeoman generator](https://github.com/yeoman/generator-webapp#readme).

Hi @romapad,

Not sure that this is 100% what you are looking for, but I have created Feverfew which is a standalone version of Sage that does not require a WordPress install. It also comes with optional routing and templating functionality so if your HTML-coder is comfortable using the Blade templating system he/she could use that.

If you want to create a completely static HTML version, it shouldn’t take many minutes to do that based on Feverfew. Let me know if you have a stab at it and if you run into any issues.

Ha, that’s my old account which I couldn’t find the login for :confused:  
I ended up using Yeoman as was suggested.

If you want to use HTML and Sage, then you can take the chance to implement [Handlebar](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-handlebars), following the same templating style of PHP

I should have chimed in here long ago. I’ve actually separated the goodness of Sage and created my own [Sage Starter](https://github.com/asuh/sage-starter) for static HTML coding. [I started a new thread](https://discourse.roots.io/t/sage-for-static-html-coders/6574) just for this in case there’s discussion and feedback needed.
