A handy development template built for web developers by myself. Includes many useful plugins and standard options. I've been developing websites for some time and began building a base template to use. Over the years this template has grown and improved to the point where I think it'd be useful to share with the public. I wanted to incorporate any and all possible options right out of the box.
-- Main Style
-- Responsive (mobile / tablet)
-- IE7, IE8, IE9
-- Devices (iphone, ipad, etc)
-- Browser Specific (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
-- 4 Optional extra Developer Stylesheets
-- Pie.css
-- Fonts Folder
-- jQuery
-- jQuery UI
-- jQuery Validate (for form)
-- Modernizr.js
-- Selectivizr.js (http://selectivizr.com)
-- Actual.js (this helps get height/width of elements that are invisible)
-- Custom Functions
-- Custom Animations
-- Mobile Device detector (for detecting if a user is using mobile phone and/or tablet)
-- Contact Form file (include the file: "layouts/contact_form.php")
-- timthumb.php for automatic thumbnails
-- HTML5 Shiv for IE8 compatibility
-- IE Specific conditional tags in the for version specific targeting
-- Meta viewport
-- Favicon Urls ready in layouts/header_assets.php
-- Nav Constant variables to add "current-menu-item" classes to a main nav tag
-- Export file functionality that zips and flattens the site into straight html in a separate folder (sequentially - export1, export2, export3) for cross server functionality
Below is a current list of available plugins for use with this template. Some are custom created by myself so feel free to use any and all at will. I've been using these plugins for so long that I automatically included them in my template.

I use the plugins class in the plugins.php file with a function the automatically puts the css files in the head and the js files in the footer.
