[Pyramid] replace index.html in pcreate -s starter MyProject with...

[Lukasz Szybalski]

Hello,
I'm email to check if we can replace the default html index/template
and update css file with the new structure in:

pcreate -s starter MyProject

It should be straight forward change but would enable 210 web designs
out of the box. (http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/alldesigns/)

#1 Here is a html I would like to use:
http://www.csszengarden.com/zengarden-sample.html
-- just replace the text but leave all the html tags/css points

#2 update the css file to use appropriate tags, aka modify this css so
the final page looks exactly as you have it now.
(http://www.csszengarden.com/zengarden-sample.css)
"<div id="container">
<div id="intro">
<div id="pageHeader">"

Benefit: 210 designs just by replacing a "css".

Let me know what you think.

Thank you.
Lucas

Hi Lucas,

what you want to explore is easily doable by just replacing the current html file in the generated project with the one from csszengarden.com. However switching the current scaffold html file to fit into this structure and make it appear good by just applying the css file is something hard to achieve without loosing what can make a good branded starter page.

The current scaffold starter page will be replaced in a near future by a new design shared between the website and the documentation theme and will have more visual impact than the current one. I think the goal of the starter page should be something strong about brand and references than providing a way to design or start your front-end development. There are too much opinions on how to do front-end development and it's too high level for pyramid to provide those in the core distribution. However I strongly encourage people to develop front-end scaffolds with opinions like HTML5 Boilerplate and/or Twitter Bootstrap, etc...
