About jonathan-stephens/colophon
This project is a minimal starter setup for Kirby, a content management system designed to be flexible and developer-friendly. The repository appears to be someone's personal implementation or fork of Kirby's Plainkit, set up as a fresh website build in 2024. Kirby positions itself as a CMS that works well for both developers and editors, adapting to different project needs rather than forcing a particular structure.
The Plainkit includes the essentials needed to begin a Kirby project from scratch, making it ideal for users already comfortable with the CMS who want to build incrementally rather than starting with a more feature-heavy template. The setup can be tried freely on a local machine or test server before purchasing a license, and Kirby provides comprehensive documentation, community forums, and Discord support to help users learn and troubleshoot.
The project is built in HTML and serves as part of the broader Kirby ecosystem, which has been developed since 2009. Users can either download the latest version or clone the repository via Git to get started, and the platform emphasizes customization and simplicity compared to more opinionated CMS options.
