Foundation Framework Can Increase Your Website Speed

advantage of foundation framework

When we talk about responsive front-end frameworks, we have different options like Foundation, Twitter Bootstrap and Skeleton. Web engineers have their own taste and interest in this scenario. Twitter Bootstrap is an awesome front-end framework but Foundation is also not a bad choice. Nowadays, having a fast, reliable and bugs free website is blessing. Especially, if you are doing online business. It is a common question asked by many webmasters “How I can increase my website speed?” I think Foundation is the best answer for this question.

Short Intro about Zurb Foundation

Foundation is a product of Zurb (Zurb is a company that develops different products and services in web sphere). Foundation is the most advanced front-end responsive CSS/JavaScript framework, helping millions to develop best responsive websites. It is really crazy fast responsive framework that can boost website speed. It offers smoother animations and transitions. Foundation 5 is available for use now and it is fastest and best build version ever by Zurb. Its features help to code and learn fast.

Features of Foundation Framework

Faster to Code

Basically the purpose to develop frameworks is to make coding fast and easy. Developers love those frameworks that help in fastest coding. While using Foundation it is faster to put codes in websites and applications. Especially when we talk about Foundation 5 version, it is professional choice for designers and developers for rapid coding.

Especially Designed for Mobiles & Responsive

Most highlighted and biggest advantage of using Foundation is that it is especially designed for mobiles and responsive approach. Therefore it responds better on all hand-hold devices including smart phones, mobiles, tablets etc. In Foundation, we use by default CSS version of framework, but we can develop project using SCSS. Foundation includes responsive mobile first grid. It contains certain classes for ease of markup.

Customization

Sometimes developers face minor difficulties in default grids because of customers’ provided designs. In this case developers have option to customize its grid to get desired results. In Bootstrap, developers have various options in different require fields therefore usually they don’t need customizations in Bootstrap. While using Foundation you have more options to customize your setting rather than Bootstrap.

Cross Browser Support

When we talk about cross browser support, Foundation supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE9+ in desktop version and in mobiles, it supports iOS, iPhone, iPad, Android, Tablets, Windows Phone 7+, Surface etc. Foundation supports IE9+ but it doesn’t support IE8. However in cross browsers’ support there is not much difference between Bootstrap and Foundation.

Conclusion

If you want to use mobile friendly especially designed framework then Foundation is the best option. It can boost your website speed on all hand-hold devices and you will feel blessed in this scenario. Your users can do fast clicks and that experience will urge them to fall in love with your website. It is very fast to code and learn and extremely user-friendly framework.
