A free minimal base template by newtjam for building your own design: scoped CSS, JS and PHP files per category, article or page, and a simple grid without containers or wrappers.
newtralize is a neutral, minimal template by newtjam, intended as a base for your own design rather than a finished look. The code is its own, with its own grid and no third-party framework. It suits developers building a general-purpose site to their own spec.
