This is my current directory structure. I have a parent website in the root folder and many child websites on sub-directories. The idea is to use a framework (like Bootstrap or Foundation - I'm using Foundation) create my layout of many commonly used website sections on the parent website and apply them onto the child. This would make all my websites very easy to maintain and update. The catch is that I have to lightly style (colors, fonts, bg-imgages...) the child separately. This would not be hard using only css, but using a framework with pre-processing means that I can't override variables afterwards. In other words, I can't change the blue color to red on everything at once. I have to declare each selector that I want to change the color again on the child css for it to work, rendering the use of a framework a big pain.
Is there a better way? Or should I just give up and copy the whole framework into the subfolders. One copy for each child website.
Note: The websites I make are really simple static one-pagers, but taking care of hundreds of them is a huge drag.
