### What is Laravel Kickstart?

Laravel Kickstart is a Laravel starter configuration that helps you build Laravel websites faster. It comes with an Elixir configuration, the latest versions of Bootstrap and JQuery, a Blade wrapper template, debug tools, and much more., _(*2)

### Why Laravel Kickstart?

Laravel is an amazing framework that lets you build scalable applications rapidly and professionally. However, when it comes time to tie in the front end, a lot of time is spent configuring views, stylesheets, and scripts. Laravel Kickstart aims to provide you with a front end workflow as advanced as Laravel's back end workflow, while tying both together seamlessly., _(*3)

### Features

• Gulp/Elixir Configuration: Compile your Sass and JavaScript files with Laravel Elixir. Your styles and scripts will automatically be combined with the project's Node dependencies and injected into the base Blade file.
• DRY Philosophy: Modularized Sass and JavaScript files out of the box to prevent repetitive front end code. A main.js file utilizes DOM-based routing, while a highly organized Sass file structure (based on Sage) breaks your styles into organized groups. Staying DRY never felt so good!
• Blade Wrapper: A base Blade template that acts as a wrapper for all your pages automatically pulls in your styles and scripts and provides many sections to extend.
• Enhanced Debugging: Laravel Kickstart implements the Whoops error handler and Laravel Debugbar for advanced debugging in app debug mode.
• Even More: That's right. Read on to find out about the loads of other small features in Laravel Kickstart that make Laravel development even more streamlined.
