Skeleton reviews

A Grav skeleton is an all-in-one package containing the core plus a theme, sample pages, plugins, configuration. These are “starter-kits” to quickly create a sample website.

To use, simply download the ZIP file, extract it in your web-root, and you have the sample site available with dummy content. You simply replace the dummy content it with your own to create the website.
