Google's Web Starter Kit is an opinionated boilerplate and build workflow for creating responsive, multi-device websites. It bundles Sass compilation, ESLint linting, Babel ES2015 transpilation, a local HTTP server, and performance optimization via Gulp.

Use cases

  • bootstrap a responsive multi-device website
  • starter template for a new web project with best practices
  • set up a gulp build pipeline with sass and linting
  • create a performance-optimized static site scaffold
  • learn Google's recommended web development workflow
  • quickly scaffold a site using Material Design Lite

When to choose

  • starting a simple static or multi-device website from scratch
  • you want an opinionated setup with Sass, linting, and build tooling preconfigured
  • you want to follow Google's Web Fundamentals best practices

When to avoid

  • building a modern SPA with React, Vue, or another framework that has its own tooling
  • you need actively maintained tooling - the project is in maintenance mode and modern alternatives like Vite are more current
  • server-side rendering or full-stack applications
