Hello,
since web stes are no longer sites, but a bunch of sites starting with a index.html/php etc it makes in my mind sence to do not start everyting form the sratch.
Is it possible / does it make sence for you to include an option like "start the project with html 5 boilerplate"* and then to download the actual version of it right into the project folder?
Thanks again
Thorsten
*) I do know the option "create a pattern page", but I mean something like https://html5boilerplate.com/
