A starter kit without page builders
What Stencilkit leaves out, and why tokens and a dozen components are enough.

Why another starter
Every marketing site I built started the same way: set up tokens, write a button, a card, a header, a footer, wire up the images. Stencilkit is that first week, done once.
What is in it
- Design tokens for colour, type and spacing.
- About a dozen components that cover most landing pages.
- Image handling, sitemap, social cards and sensible defaults for performance.
What is left out
No page builder, no visual editor, no theme options panel. Those tools make the first page faster and every page after it slower, because the site ends up shaped by the builder instead of the content.
Who it is for
Developers who build sites for clients and want a clean, fast starting point they fully understand. Changing it means editing code, which is the point.
