Responsive Boilerplate for Style Tiles

Display your Style Tiles in beautiful, responsive way using valid HTML5/CSS3. This template is entirely and purposely based on the .PSD template provided by Samantha Warren at StyleTil.es. If you don't know what a Style Tile is yet:

Style Tiles are a design deliverable consisting of fonts, colors and interface elements that communicate the essence of a visual brand for the web.

They help form a common visual language between the designers and the stakeholders and provide a catalyst for discussions around the preferences and goals of the client.

Style Tiles are similar to the paint chips and fabric swatches an interior designer gets approval on before designing a room. An interior designer doesn't design three different rooms for a client at the first kick-off meeting, so why do Web designers design three different webpage mockups?

How do I use it?

You'll need knowledge of basic HTML and CSS. Edit the text and logo in the HTML, but everything else is CSS.

If you'd like to have switchable tiles:

  1. Add a separate stylesheet for each tile to the css folder.
  2. Uncomment the scripts at the bottom of index.html.
  3. Using the commented stylesheets links in the header as a reference, add your new stylesheets. Ensure the title attribute is included.
  4. Under the #project div, follow the commented instructions: comment out (or delete) the text-only <p> element and uncomment the one below with links. Adapt as necessary, ensuring the rel attribute in the links match the title attribute in the stylesheet links.

Note: The first linked stylesheet option in the #project div will be the default. If that's an issue, make the first option point to a blank stylesheet.
