Welcome to the siimple CSS toolkit repository 🎉

What is siimple

We call siimple a CSS toolkit because it is a themeable and customizable CSS framework, but also a CSS engine that you can use for building your own CSS framework.

Inspired by other CSS frameworks (like bulma), but:

  • Fully themeable: use your own theme to customize and extend siimple.
  • Use what you really need: include the core modules (elements, helpers, ...) and themes that you REALLY need for your project.
  • No dependencies: written all from scratch without any dependencies.
  • No CSS preprocessors needed: we provide a tiny CLI to compile the CSS, so you do not need any other preprocessor like SASS or LESS.
  • Color palette included: we provide a flat color palette to customize siimple with different colors.
  • Pure CSS icons included: we provide a collection of pure CSS icons.
