Front-end Frameworks

Foundation – responsive front-end framework

Foundation is an easy to use, powerful, and flexible open source framework for building prototypes and production code on any kind of device. It is billed as the most advanced responsive front-end framework.

With Foundation, users can quickly prototype and build sites or apps that work on any kind of device with Foundation, which includes layout constructs (like a fully responsive grid), elements and best practices.

Foundation is developed in Sass, which is a powerful CSS pre-processor that helps you write cleaner, and more organized.

Features include:

  • Flexible, efficient layout.
  • Create powerful multi-device layouts quickly and easily with the 12-column, nestable Foundation grid.
  • Dozens of styles to help you quickly prototype a site; multiple button sizes and styles, tabs, custom form elements, modal dialogs, image sliders and a lot more.
  • Provides a set of stylesheets that provide basic style definitions for all key HTML components.
  • Supports responsive design – the layout of web pages adjusts dynamically, taking into account the characteristics of the device used.
  • Rapid Prototyping with dozens of elements and styles.
  • Multi-Device Mobility including CSS styles to hide and show elements on different device types.
  • Work with mobile-first approaches to product design and development.
  • JavaScript components of Foundation are based on Zepto.js.
