• Built in a mobile-first, responsive philosophy (but can easily be used for fixed sites as well)
• Sass compilation uses autoprefixer to dynamically add vendor prefixes so you don't even have to think about it
• Sass mixins for many CSS3 features including gradients, REMs with fallbacks
• Starter content styles, including clean typography, lists, tables, etc
• Starter form element styles: stacked on small-screen to 2-column (if you choose) at the breakpoint of your choice
• Grunt used extensively to ease common development bottlenecks
• Sass compilation using grunt-contrib-sass although grunt-sass can be used a drop-in replacement but there are still some bugs; it is far quicker though..
• Concatenation and minification of JS files with and grunt-contrib-uglify
• Simple server using grunt-contrib-connect

Simple: Internet Explorer 8+

• Install Node from nodejs.org
• Install Grunt CLI - npm install -g grunt-cli
• Install Sass globally - sudo gem install sass --pre. Ruby v2 is needed. Update using rvm, brew (if you use a Mac) or from ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ then install the packages below
• Navigate (cd) to your project directory and run npm install which will install all Grunt's dependencies
• Run grunt watch or grunt serve (if you want to create a simple local server) to watch for changes and compile Sass/Javascript

When using Grunt with Kickoff, source maps are created for both the Javascript and Sass. Javascript is compiled to the /js/dist and Sass is compiled to the '/css' folder.

Kickoff's .gitignore file ignores the /dist folder by default. You will want to uncomment this line if you are not compiling these on the server.

There is also a Yeoman generator for Kickoff, visit tmwagency.github.io/kickoff/docs/yeoman.html for more info.
