File structure
Within this theme you’ll find the following directories and files, grouping common resources and providing both compiled and minified distribution files, as well as raw source files.
Contents
What’s great about Boomerang is that you have everything you need in one place. It is very simple and easy to understand. All styles, images, javascript and other third-party plugins are stored within the assets folder, while the page templates are stored within the pages folder.
