The front-end consumes Ionic Framework, allowing you to customize the starter to all your needs with many pre-configured components. It also comes with pre-configured sass settings, allowing you to change the look of the starter with ease. For example, replace the variable $positive to your prefered color and the color yellow will immediately be replaced by your choice.
