Timber helps you create fully-customized WordPress themes faster with more sustainable code. With Timber, you write your HTML using the Twig Template Engine separate from your PHP files. This cleans up your theme code so, for example, your PHP file can focus on being the data/logic, while your Twig file can focus 100% on the HTML and display. Once Timber is installed and activated in your plugins directory, it gives any WordPress theme the ability to take advantage of the power of Twig and...

...Its structure is intentionally opinionated about where code lives and how templates compose, which makes large customizations predictable and maintainable. Developers can opt into Sass and build helpers, but the theme is usable as a lightweight baseline even without a complex toolchain. Because it avoids design flourishes, Underscores encourages teams to layer their branding and components on top of a solid, well-documented skeleton that tracks WordPress best practices.

...Statically analyzes your code to pick up which selectors are used. The CLI currently does not support file patterns. Remove unused CSS code from your stylesheet. PurifyCSS is meant to be installed via npm and built into your build process using tools like Grunt, Gulp or Webpack. However if you're using a different development stack or building your sites with a CMS like Wordpress, you can use the online tool to clean up your stylesheet. Especially if you are using CSS frameworks like Bootstrap or a multi-purpose Wordpress theme, chances are you are actually using less than 20% of the defined CSS rules.

Designing WordPress themes the old-fashioned way is time-consuming and error-prone. Automating the build process allows us to integrate best practices into our workflow while saving time. This project is a starter kit for developing highly optimized WordPress themes with Gulp, npm, and Sass, among other tools. This is not meant to be a starter theme or framework (although I have included a minimum viable theme to demonstrate some of the possibilities).
