That’s really sharp! Is your HTML minified?
Yes it is. I use the W3 Total Cache plugin to minify the HTML. I don’t use it to minify CSS and JS- firstly because Grunt does that, but secondly W3 Total Cache rewrites the url to a horrible one- bypassing the beautiful Roots URLs.
We have a lot of custom stuff going on here, but we did use Roots as the foundation for our agency site here:
I realized last night that W3TC was at work there–never knew it did that.
Anyway–nice work!
Here’s mine - had to build some clever ACF stuff to keep the 400+ pages manageable!
Rebuilt with Roots: taddlecreekmag.com, online home of general-interest literary magazine based in Toronto.
Hi, Here is a new website 100% made with Roots i’ve designed for a french human ressources company : http://www.adpotentiel.fr/
Nice! What you think about stacking ur devices like the attached when viewing at smaller breakpoint?
Amazing idea!!! Going to implement that right now! Thanks!
I will confess that I hated Roots when I first tried it, but this past year I’ve been using it almost exclusively as a starting point. I usually develop using Roots as a child theme. I copy all the LESS files to the child theme. Generally edit only the variables.less and put any other custom code into app.less.
Here’s one of our Roots-based sites:
Thanks so much to the developers and the community!

Website I created with Roots/Bedrock (using Backbone.js too! ) : http://www.avantagestudio.com/
It’s not the most polished of designs (it’s based on a really messy template that the site owner started with), but She’eilasChacham.org was built with Roots.
I have built many WordPress sites in the past (including this award-winning project), but this has got to have been the fastest turnaround time for me ever, by starting from Roots instead of from one of the shipped themes (‘Twenty Ten’ and company). Thank you to the Roots devs for the great work!
We just launched this monster of a roots based site: http://www.ecotrust.org/
Lots of ACF associated with custom post types (12!) and lots still left to do!
I’m most proud of the backend UI for our project pages and blog posts. It uses a set ACF Flexible Content/Repeater modules that allow writers to include a variety of different sublayouts in any order. If you look at http://www.ecotrust.org/project/blue-tools/ vs http://www.ecotrust.org/project/maps-matter/ each vertical module is setup by an author and each of those modules (full width media, left/right image+copy, video…) has different switches in it like ‘circular image? pull header?..’ A total pain to build (my template files are out of control!) but I’m happy with the flexibility in the end to enable authors to tell stories however they see fit. Plus, they don’t need a developer to do visually interesting stuff and they don’t have to write any HTML.
Then there are what we call ‘stack’ pages like http://www.ecotrust.org/about/ and http://www.ecotrust.org/join-us/. A combination of different ACF Flexible content fields like those little circular nav blocks and page includes. Again, all 100% author controlled. ACF is amazing.
Big thanks to the roots team.
Love so much of the interaction on the jake group site. Pitch perfect.
Launched another one today. Design provided by the client - I just did the development. Coolest thing is a crazy custom Gravity forms popup - click the “design style quiz” button…
We’ve recently launched our first high-end roots website! http://marsdd.com has finally relaunched into the modern era.
Additionally, since that’s gone live last week, we’ve managed to also launch the blog-side of one of our projects, also using roots, over at http://careers2030.cst.org/
We just finished a new site built on Roots! Check it out:
I’ve not built a single WP site without Roots. Thanks team for an awesome starter theme.
First off, great work on this theme guys!
I am using a modified version for Whys Learning, an educational resource for parents.
