You put in modules of HTML, JavaScript and CSS, and out comes concatinated minified CSS, HTML and JavaScript.

Using the Modulaise tools suite, you will be creating front end code that adheres to the Web Performance Best Practices rules, as outlined by Google.

Build frontend code using a modular approach thus achieving seperation of logic JavaScript, HTML as well as CSS.

With an easy to understand modular anatomy, you will be constructing your first site in minutes.

Using a flexible yet plain and simple module anatomy allows for a greater degree of code reusability.

By encouraging you to separate your code into modules, finding and debugging that troublesome codes becomes easier.

Using a well structured agreed upon project structure, makes it easier for teams to collaborate, since there is never any doubt about where certain files lives.

With a strong emphasis on build cycles, the Modulaise tools suite allows you to build and deploy your frontend quickly and continually, thus empowering you to release early and release often.

Using a simplified template system, and page / pane / module analogy, you are encouraged to not repeat yourself while coding.

Easing building, deploying and refactoring truly enables you to develop iteratively.

You will be writing plain ordinary HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

You will produce static HTML, static JavaScript and static CSS files, the template system is merely meant and build for you to rapidly prototype and build frontend code.

At most you will be utilizing 5 - 10 PHP function calls, all of which are documented and easy to grasp.

You are absolutely free to pick or omit any JavaScript framework.

You are absolutely free to pick or omit any CSS framework.

Latest documentation is available online at the GitHub - Modulaise Wiki.

Here you can find the installation instructions, and a handy tutorial. The installation and tutorial will take you approximately one hour to complete.
