Torlesse is a child theme for Genesis 2.0

Based on SASS, SUSY repsonsive grid and some basic styling.

A Genesis child theme with SASS based grid and entypo icons.

This theme is meant to provide a solid base for further development, a rock for you to lean on. The Torlesse range of mountains is found in Cantebury, New Zealand. We felt it was an appropriate name for our project.

This project is intended to be a foundation for a clean lightweight Genesis theme for wordpress that uses a responsive mobile first approach to layout. The Susy grid enables layout to be created with mixins so that the html can remain untouched and layout and breakpoints can easily be adjusted in the SASS files.

The same approach is taken with the font icons. Using the mixin library created by rstacruz we can load only the relivant CSS for the icons we are actually using.

This project makes use of:

Susy Grid - http://susy.oddbird.net/

SASS Icon Fonts - https://github.com/rstacruz/sass_icon_fonts

Entypo Icons - http://www.entypo.com/

SASS and Compass

Based on:

Bones for Genesis 2.0

A starting point for new Genesis projects. This is a starter child theme, not a dependency. Clone it. Fork it. Hack it for your own projects. Build cool things on the web.

Issues and pull requests are welcome and will be addressed.
