A base for future projects

At this point, we have a good skeletal structure for any project:

  • A basic folder and file structure for typical website assets
  • A Compass config.rb file set up
  • The various paths for images and the like set

This base project should be generic enough that it can be used as a starting point for almost any future web project. Therefore, if everything is looking good, make a copy of the folder housing this project and rename the copied folder to 'base' (or whatever you like). This can then be used as a starting point for future Compass-based Sass projects without needing to run any commands. Instead, you'll be able to copy it, amend it to suit, and get coding.
