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
