Minimal Mistakes is a flexible two-column Jekyll theme distributed as a Ruby gem, designed for personal sites, blogs, project documentation, and portfolios. It is GitHub Pages compatible and offers responsive layouts, multiple color skins, search integration, SEO support, and extensive customization via YAML front matter.
Use cases
- build a personal blog with Jekyll
- create a portfolio site hosted on GitHub Pages
- set up project documentation with a table of contents
- start a minimal two-column static website
- add client-side search to a Jekyll blog
- customize a responsive Jekyll theme with different color skins
When to choose
- you want a GitHub Pages-compatible Jekyll theme for a blog or personal site
- you need responsive layouts with minimal styling you can customize
- you want built-in SEO, commenting, and analytics integrations
- you prefer a theme installable and upgradable as a Ruby gem
When to avoid
- you are not using Jekyll or a static site generator
- you need a dynamic server-side application or database-backed site
- you want a highly opinionated, heavily styled design out of the box
- you need a WordPress or JavaScript framework theme
