Foundation Framework

Foundation Framework by Zurb has emerged in the second

half of 2013 as one of the best frameworks for web

designing with its version 5.0.

Foundation Framework

With features similar to that of Twitter Bootstrap—and

some significant enhancements—it is expected to climb

the ladder of popularity in 2014.

Foundation framework boasts a 12 grid system similar to

Twitter Bootstrap. It also provides reusable HTML

components and JavaScript plug-ins in its package. But

unlike Twitter Bootstrap, Foundation has support for Sass

stylesheets.

You need to compile the Sass stylesheet, convert it into

normal CSS files and then use them in your project.

Foundation Framework

Adding Sass support makes it more customizable for

designers who want to give that personal touch to the

websites.

With features like Off Canvas and Improved form, it would

be interesting to see web developers explore this

framework to the most in 2014. Refer to Tahir Taous’s

article to know what’s new in Foundation 5.

Try Foundation 5.

Gumby Framework

Gumby Framework

Gumby Framework is built on a Sass preprocessor that

allows you to customize and build designs on top of the

Gumby Framework. Designing with Gumby will require you

to understand the basics of Sass. It can be customized by

changing the variables values using Sass. Modular scale is

another great inbuilt feature of Gumby that uses a Golden

Ratio tool for typography.

Just like Twitter Bootstrap 3, Gumby framework provides

support for Internet Explorer 8 and above and all the open

source modern browsers.

Gumby Framework

Continuing with the industry standards, Gumby also has

the 12 grid layout system. It logically divides the browser’s

space into 12 grids and supports nested gridding. Some

new concepts like Hybrid Grids, Tiles, Fancy Tiles and

Semantic Tiles make this framework unique and definitely

worth trying. Reusable CSS and JavaScript plugins are also

provided by Gumby Framework. Try Gumby Framework.

Yahoo Pure CSS Framework

Yahoo Pure CSS Framework

Yahoo Pure or Pure CSS is a lightweight CSS framework by

Yahoo. It’s both extremely light and also responsive in

nature. Unlike other frameworks, Yahoo Pure doesn’t have

any JavaScript Plugins.

This framework also utilizes the popular 12-grid-layout

system and has its own CSS rules to apply. For people who

like the metro design of Windows, Yahoo Pure is the perfect

CSS framework to start designing with. It promotes less

shadow effects and almost no rounded corners in its

designs. Yahoo’s skin builder can be used to customize the

look when using Pure CSS.

INK Interface Kit

INK Interface Kit

Being new to the industry and having learned from its

seniors, InK provides solutions that most people could be

looking for. It has both reusable HTML and JavaScript

Plugins. The most unique feature in this framework is the

ability to provide drag and drop support—which is still not

present in Twitter Bootstrap 3, for example.

InK provides an amazing set of form validation classes

which comes in very handy. Image processing is also

another power feature. Using InK you can create multiple

versiona of the same image and reduce the load time in

various device types.

INK Interface Kit

It also has an impressive set of MIT licensed icons to play

with. With such an amazing set of power tools, InK is worth

trying as a web designing framework.
