Lightweight and minimal code. Spend less time overriding styles and focus more time on creating beautiful website applications.
Base itself is a pretty thin CSS framework built on top of Normalize CSS. Include what you need on top of Base such as custom typography, custom grids, components and make it yours.
If you are creating a new project from scratch, it is recommended that you use the base starter.
git clone https://github.com/getbase/starter.git --depth=1 \
new-website && cd new-website && rm -rf .git && \
npm install && npm startFor existing projects, simply install base using NPM.
npm install --save @getbase/baseOnce you have Base installed, you can choose what to import and include your own custom styles.
