What you'll find

Four categories of reference implementations — pick a starting point.

Starter Kits

Minimal, opinionated project templates for Jekyll, Hugo, and static sites. Batteries included — just add content.

View Kits

Component Libraries

Accessible, styled UI components built on Bootstrap and Tailwind. Zero dependencies, copy-paste ready.

Browse Components

Integration Examples

Real-world API and service integrations — payments, auth, email, search. Skip the documentation rabbit hole.

See Integrations

Architecture Patterns

Service layouts, data flows, deployment configs, and CI/CD pipelines. Battle-tested structures for modern apps.

Explore Patterns

Patterns over promises

We ship working code, not slide decks. Every example is MIT licensed, production-tested, and maintained.

  • Copy, adapt, ship — No vendor lock-in, no frameworks to learn.
  • Standards first — Built on Bootstrap, Jekyll, and open web tech.
  • Your code, your repo — Fork it, own it, deploy anywhere.

The reference implementation

This site itself is an Example Co. starter kit — a Jekyll + Bootstrap theme with Bootswatch theming, Decap CMS ready, and production-grade CI/CD. Everything you see here is available to copy.
