Spark

Spark is a lightweight, responsive, front-end web design framework with multiple colors and styles and a little Javascript icing.

Update 24/01/2017

The Spark project isn't dead, I've just been busy with a million and one other things. I've started to put together a plan for Spark version 3 and will hopefully begin working on it soon.

Styles

The framework comes pre-baked with several color themes that are interchangeable. Currently, the base colors are silver (default), blue, green, orange, red, purple, lime, dragonfruit and new to v2.0: cosmic.

Nonintrusive

Spark is what we like to call nonintrusive. When you include the css/js files in the head of your HTML file, by default with no extra classes it styles only the bare necessities like font families/weights/sizes/colors, resets etc. While it may require slightly more markup than other frameworks to use theme elements, it’s much easier to customize elements with the default all-in Spark rather than having to call big long selector lists to override. And that’s why we started it.

Simplicity

The whole basis of Spark is to keep things simple. Simple to use and simple to customize. We’ve got plans to make it even simpler but let’s take things one step at a time.

The Project

The project lives here and at http://www.codewithspark.com where you can find detailed documentation on how to use it.

Versioning

Spark is versioned using Semantic Versioning.
