What is included?
When purchasing kirbyBOOK, you'll get to choose between two versions of the kirbyBOOK theme:
- A ready-to-use version that you can upload to your webhost without any further ado.
- A developer version for advanced users which includes all source files for esier customization.
Each license you purchase is valid for a single website (of course you may create as many local development/testing installations as you like). If you want to use kirbyBOOK on multiple websites or domains, you may choose the number of licenses you need during the checkout process. If you need a lot of licenses (6 or more) drop me a message at support@jd-powered.net to talk about and arrange volume discounts.
Standard (ready-to-use) Edition
The standard Edition includes all required theme files, assets and the complete set of demo content (as seen on this website). Everything is nicely prepared and embedded into a fresh, preconfigured and up-to-date Kirby installation.
This edition was made especially for non-code oriented people that just want to start publishing their book with kirbyBOOK without having to worry about any tweaks, modifications, customizations, compiling, etc…
Developer Edition
In addition to the Standard Edition you may choose to get a hold on the special Developer Edition. Choose this edition if you want to make your own heavy modifications or customizations to kirbyBOOK. In addition to the Standard Edition the Developer Edition includes:
all uncompressed and well-documented JavaScript and Sass source files
Composer, Bower and Npm package files to install all vendor assets required for development
The complete Gulp workflow for compiling the assets
Additional configuration files that enable you to use a complete Git-based workflow, including .gitignore and .gitmodules
You'll get all required theme files right within a fresh Kirby setup so you're ready-to-go from the very first minute.
