##Effortless Website Development
Building a website from scratch can be a time-consuming process, requiring digital teams to invest effort in both design and functionality. However, Apostrophe’s new Starter Kits simplify this upfront demand by providing pre-bundled projects designed for ecommerce, hospitality, and marketing sites, to go along with our existing minimalist Apostrophe 3 Essentials project. These Starter Kits act as a foundation, allowing developers to jumpstart their projects and reduce the time and effort required for initial setup.

###Tailored to Specific Industries
Apostrophe Starter Kits are specifically designed to cater to the needs of various industries. The [Apostrophe Essentials Kit] (https://apostrophecms.com/starter-kits/apostrophe-essentials-kit) provides a solid blank canvas for general-purpose websites, allowing developers to start their projects with a robust and flexible base. The [Ecommerce Kit] (https://apostrophecms.com/starter-kits/ecommerce-starter-kit) equips developers with the necessary components and features to set up an online store seamlessly. Whereas the [Hospitality Kit] (https://apostrophecms.com/starter-kits/hospitality-and-restaurant-starter-kit) offers specialized functionality for restaurants, hotels, resorts, and other leisure businesses. Lastly, the [Marketing Kit] (https://apostrophecms.com/starter-kits/marketing-starter-kit) empowers marketers with tools to create simple promotional websites that effectively showcase their products or services. 

In releasing these Starter Kits as open source projects, we also hope to create new opportunities for the community to [collaborate with us] (https://github.com/apostrophecms/apostrophe/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md). And this is just the beginning!  In partnership with our [Partner Network] (https://apostrophecms.com/partners), additional Starter Kits are planned for the Apostrophe Library.
