Div Starter Beta 1.1

(Complete documentation coming soon. Continue to check wiki and starter site)

Div Starter is a development platform for Wordpress Sites, a framework that aims to be powerful yet simple. Some of the greatness of frameworks like Genesis (made for super users), but without the bulk and clutter; much like Bones (actually based on bones with some powerful tools - meant for developers).
