Twitter Bootstrap is an amazing resource for free baseline styles, interface components and interactions. Are there other companies out there who have released their own version of similar resource?
Foundation by Zurb - <a href="http://foundation.zurb.com/" rel="nofollow">http://foundation.zurb.com/</a> (which I think preceded Bootstrap's existence in time) is very polished, and really is a serious contender.<p>I recall someone earlier describing it as the preferred choice for those who want to go a few extra steps to retrofitting the framework to their own liking.
If I'm a non-technical person with minimal coding skills (C++, editing HTML/CSS, rudimentary knowledge of Ruby), should I invest time and effort to learn Bootstrap/Foundation? My goal is to develop a functional MVP that I can take to potential customers; I've validated the need for my product through individual sales but feel like I need to test a semi-functioning site to see if my idea can scale.<p>Would appreciate suggestions, alternatives.
<a href="http://html5boilerplate.com/" rel="nofollow">http://html5boilerplate.com/</a> is a great choice not yet mentioned. More of a blank slate though so you will need to do some design work. It is responsive in nature which makes formatting for mobile devices easier too.
I'm working on one, hope to release it officially soon.<p><a href="http://bedrocktheme.com" rel="nofollow">http://bedrocktheme.com</a><p>Download it here:
