Getting started

There are a couple ways to download Skeleton:

Download the zip
Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton.git

What's in the download?

The download includes Skeleton's CSS, Normalize CSS as a reset, a sample favicon, and an index.html as a starting point.

Why it's awesome

Skeleton is lightweight and simple. It styles only raw HTML elements (with a few exceptions) and provides a responsive grid. Nothing more.

Minified, it's less than a kb
It's a starting point, not a UI framework
No compiling or installing...just vanilla CSS

Browser support

Chrome latest
Firefox latest
Opera latest
Safari latest
IE latest

The above list is non-exhaustive. Skeleton works perfectly with almost all older versions of the browsers above, though IE certainly has large degradation prior to IE9.
