Velocity Project Plugin Baseplate Readme

This Wordpress plugin is responsible for all the backend related elements (functions, methods, classes, setup, config and Gutenberg blocks), as well as providing the default markup and styling for components, blocks and modules. These frontend facing foundation elements provide a starting point, and although they are developed to work out the box, they are ultimately overwritten/manipulated by the theme in order to provide a custom theme based experience.
