HTML5 Boilerplate is a professional front‑end template that provides a solid foundation of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for building fast, robust web sites and applications. It ships as a ready‑to‑use starter kit without imposing any specific framework or architecture.

Use cases

• quickly scaffold a new website with modern best‑practice defaults
• bootstrap a web application with a performant, SEO‑friendly HTML5 base
• create a reusable front‑end starter template for multiple projects
• set up a static site with sensible defaults for caching, security, and performance

When to choose

• You need a lightweight, framework‑agnostic starter kit for a web project
• You want built‑in best practices for performance, security, and accessibility
• You prefer a template that can be customized with any front‑end stack

When to avoid

• You require a full‑featured SPA framework like React, Vue, or Angular
• You need server‑side rendering or back‑end integration out of the box
• You want a drag‑and‑drop site builder rather than a code‑based template
