Package structure

After HTML Website Template package extracting you'll see the following files structure:

build folder - all finished files will be added to this folder after compilation, it is also called the production folder, i.e. the result of the work. The build folder will contain subfolders. They will be created automatically at compilation, so I did not specify them in the structure ( Important! Before executing the "gulp build" command, the folder build must be created in the project's root if it does not exist. ).
app folder - the source files of the project will be stored here. In general, there can be a lot of files in the child folders, depending on the size of the project. Each file types are then merged into a common file and copied to the production folder. At the root is the file index.html and other *.html.
CSS, js, images, fonts files you can find in app or build folder
CSS files you can find in build/assets/css folder or app/assets/scss folder with sources
JS files you can find in build/assets/js folder or app/assets/js folder with sources
Fonts you can find in build/assets/fonts folder or app/assets/fonts folder with sources
