YAML XHTML/CSS Framework with ExpressionEngine
eeSiteKit for EE 2.4.0 is fully integrated with the YAML 3.2.1 CSS framework by Dirk Jesse.
We are working on an integration of the new YAML 3.3 (released on October 13th, 2010) and hope to have it ready in the following weeks.
We’ve integrated YAML’s “Simple Project” template into eeSiteKit for use with or without the YAML Builder for a quick cross-browser, standards-compliant foundation for your next site. You can see the default template layout that ships with eeSiteKit at: demo.eesitekit.com. We built that entire site with it.
The YAML CSS framework has been in active development since 2005 and is intuitively documented in two languages (German/Deutsch and English/Englisch), globally tested, and sites built with it regularly win awards for accessibility. YAML brings a new level of consistency and reliability to your eeSiteKit-based site.
If you prefer to code your own CSS (browser re-sets and nav-scripts), just swap out the YAML CSS files and write your own using YAML’s Layout Skeleton as a starting point.
Or, if you’re a fan of Grid 960, Blueprint, YUI 3.0 or some other popular system, just swap out the “kit_display” template group with the new and optional “kit_display_light” group and build your own templates using eeSiteKit’s Custom Embed Tags. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your site comes together.
