*A short story behind making of this theme.*
_The short story behind making of this theme._

This is lone-wolf-theme for Jekyll websites. Developed as an exercise for my web development skills.
As a part time solo freelancer I faced bad experiences in dealing with the clients.
Due to no established processes and formal communications people did not take me seriously.
Also ended up working without pay for some time.
This theme is developed as a learning experience.
Since there are no good bootstrap based themes for jekyll.
So I took up this opportunity to create a bootstrap based, github pages
compatible jekyll theme.

So I felt the need to formalize the communication process with the clients.
Inspired by websites like [upwork](https://www.upwork.com/), [bonsai](https://www.hellobonsai.com/), I decided
to make my own theme with all the necessary [features]({{ '/features/' | absolute_url }}) for a freelancer.
The knowledge to develop this theme is borrowed from the below two popular jekyll themes:

By making use of the source code from two well known free and open source jekyll themes
[minimal mistakes](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/) and [cards](https://webjeda.com/cards/)
I made a simple version of this theme. It is highly oriented towards the solo freelancers who either starting out
or well established.

## Introduction

Lone Wolf Theme is targeted at freelancers who run their business and wants to manage it on a Jekyll
generated website. It is infamous for abstracting away the frontend code using Bootstrap 4 and Bootswatch
themes to help us focus only on the <span class="badge badge-primary">content</span> and the
<span class="badge badge-primary">functions</span>. It is in the most basic version now due to my
hectic schedule at work and other responsibilities. Will quickly add features from my todo lists to make
this theme unique and great.

This theme is inspired by the fact that there is a lack of good boostrap based theme for Jekyll.
Bootstrap is a popular frontend framework for websites used for keeping consistency in the code and is
easy to maintain and extend. Have used a freely available theme for jekyll, like [minimal mistakes][1].
But since it is a generic theme it didn't meet my specific needs (i.e. manage my freelance business).
And it is too difficult to make changes to their code base. Hence by using the bootstrap the frontend code is
abstracted away and it is very easy to extend it in the future.

100% github pages compatible and also available in gem version from [rubygems.org][3].
{: .lead}

List of functions the freelancers encounter in their business that this theme intends to handle by providing
an interface to the end users:

<ul class="list-group d-inline-block mb-3">
<li class="list-group-item">
Formalize and record the client communications.
</li>
<li class="list-group-item">
Self owned web portal to handle the freelance business.
</li>
<li class="list-group-item">
Simple blog layout.
</li>
<li class="list-group-item">
Idea submission form, etc.
</li>
</ul>

<p class="bg-success text-white p-3 rounded">It is aimed at the solo freelancers who host their <span
class="badge badge-info">portfolios</span>,
take <span class="badge badge-info">ideas</span> form submission,
have a <span class="badge badge-info">todo</span> lists to achieve their goals and
host a <span class="badge badge-info">blog</span> to pen their thoughts.

Since there is no good boostrap based theme for [jekyll][jekyll]
I have created this theme in my free time.
To learn both the web development and contribute to open source softwares.

Have used popular jekyll themes such as [minimal mistakes][min-mis].
And I wanted to have my own theme so I can modify it to suit my needs.

Bootstrap is a popular frontend framework for websites.
It is used for consistency in the code and is easy to maintain and extend.
Bootswatch is a wrapper theme for plain bootstrap.
It enhances the plain bootstrap to a great extent.

LWT is compatible with github pages.
It uses [animate.css][ani-css] for animations.
