Poole is a foundational setup ('butler') for Jekyll static sites, providing example templates, pages, posts, and styles, with official themes like Hyde (a two-column sidebar theme) and Lanyon (a content-first drawer theme). It gives developers a ready-to-run vanilla Jekyll install they can customize or theme.

Use cases

• start a new Jekyll blog with a prebuilt theme
• build a personal static site with a sidebar layout
• quickly scaffold a Jekyll site with example content
• customize a two-column blog theme with color schemes
• create a documentation or portfolio site with Jekyll

When to choose

• you use Jekyll and want a clean, minimal starting point
• you want a classic sidebar or drawer-based blog theme
• you prefer simple CSS you can easily customize

When to avoid

• you use a static site generator other than Jekyll
• you need a modern JavaScript-based frontend framework
• you need a feature-rich, component-driven theme
