Streamline Your WordPress Development Workflow with Juniper’s Automation Features

Juniper uses Timber to render themes, which allows you to separate your visual presentation from backend logic. This separation is crucial for maintaining clean and organized code. 

Timber and Twig together make your WordPress theme development more efficient by leveraging the Twig templating engine, which is known for its simplicity and power. 

Juniper’s use of Composer for dependency management ensures that you can maintain consistent versions of all plugins, WordPress core, and other resources across all your projects.

Built on top of Bedrock, it separates the frontend from the backend, making WordPress work more convenient. With Juniper, you can focus on what really matters and save hours.
