Introducing Heisenberg, our starter theme for WordPress

You may have seen our fearless leader Steve Zehngut’s presentation at WordCamp Orange County last year about how we use Auttomatic’s Underscores and ZURB’s Foundation as the basis for the custom WordPress themes we produce. Since Steve’s WordCamp talk, we’ve continued to iterate our starter theme. We’ve packaged it together and released it on GitHub — please allow us to introduce you to Heisenberg. Now, let’s cook.

This starter theme uses the Sass version of Foundation because it gives you a more robust ability to control your theme not only through Foundation’s presentational classes, but also through its mixins.

How to get started

Install Foundation Sites and Gulp Modules via NPM

1. Clone or download the project onto your themes directory (.wp-content/themes)
2. From the theme directory, run npm install. All of the theme dependencies will be installed into node_modules
3. Run a find-and-replace to remove the heisenberg slug/string throughout with your project/theme name
4. Run gulp

Follow the project on GitHub

We’re actively developing the starter theme, so the best way to stay current with instructions and such is to view the project on GitHub.
