#CODEKIT BENEFITS MAC OS#
Having worked a bit with SASS during my stint at E9 Digital I was eager to exercise these muscles again and after some hiccups with Mac OS / Mountain Lion / RUBY configuration I was well on my way.

I briefly considered using Bones before eventually settling on Reverie (which is actually a Framework not a starter theme.) I have a specific use case in mind for the themes I’m building and I concluded Reverie stood out for its simplicity and would play nice with Gravity Forms and mobile templates after some rudimentary testing. I began this process by looking around at my WordPress starter theme options that utilized a CSS preprocessor as part of its workflow. Recently I decided to revisit my interest in using SASS as a component of my WordPress theme development skillset.
