This template can be used with MODX CMF Revolution and is thought as a basic rock solid HTML5 website template. It has some speed improvements, fallbacks for old browsers and IE.
NOTE: It is not a direct clone of the original HTML5Boilerplate by Paul Irish. I've stripped some content which is not needed and implemented some other speedy scripts.
If you want to use a Grid system, please take the files of the "main-grid" folder.

- Download all files and upload to your server in right folder structure:
- .htaccess/ICO/Touch-Icons and humans.txt, PIE.htc into root directory of your webhosting setup
- put the other files into your /assets/... structure as you need them or as it's given in my folder structure.
- Please: If you change template folder name check to change template name in chunks, too!!!
- Customize all paths, URLs and App-IDs in the template files
- Create the following new chunks in MODX Manager:
- "site_header"
- "site_footer" and paste code of the "site_header.html" / "site_footer.html" into.
- Create the MODX template in MODX-Manager and paste code from "site_template.html"
- Replace the Revolution .htaccess file with this one and customize it
- Customize all the other files! Start coding your template layout. You can use Modernizr to add browser specific behavior!
You can update the package manually. Download the new package and unpack it first. You can override all files (no guarantee, please check if you've change one of them first) but not the following ones:
- site_header.html
- site_footer.html
- site_template.html
- all CSS-files
- js/scripts.js and js/plugins.js (if you use custom plugins in here)
Please check all these files for changes and consider to not overwrite your own settings / changes / code!!! Be sure to check all important files before replacing them! I do not (and cannot) give warranty for that…
