Announcing MatterKit an open source WordPress theme framework

Hannah, our lead web developer, spoke at WordCamp Sunshine Coast - May 6th-8th 2016 about the WordPress theme framework we've been building for almost a year.

She talked about the major decisions we made along the way including the decision to build it upon the massively popular Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin.

She mentioned that the SASS/CSS we've created uses BEM notation. Hat tip to Peter Wilson for his 2014 WordCamp talk about CSS naming conventions.

We also announced that the code is now live on Github for developers to get their teeth into and we have a documentation website too:

• Slides
• Matter Kit on Github
• Our documentation website
