After making many website with separate mobile sites, I decided to move onto responsive design. First, I tried foundation, and now I am thinking about using bootstrap.


Which tool do you think is best and why, or do you believe it is better to custom code responsive designs?

I write the specific media queries in css (well SCSS/SASS these days)
I hate having a clunky framework when i can just use a few lines of code…

currently writing a CMS for an app that runs native on every smart mobile platform and fuck using a framework.

I just recently used Foundation v3.
I think I might switch to something more light weight...

I do that when clients are overpaying me.

But normally the opposite is happening, so I mainly concern myself with overall looks, not necessarily clunkiness.

CSS is really all you need, I feel like I have more control over the look of the site as well without using a framework. I don't even use SASS/SCSS, just pure CSS lol

Fair enough, wind back the clock a couple of years and if i was still doing client work, I would probably use skeleton.

Things like mixins & variables are far too powerful & if you are worried about server setup you can always use http://hammerformac.com or something of the like to compile your scripts.

Frameworks are great to get a lot of the repetitive work out of the way, such as setting up media queries for a responsive design.
I'm lazy, so I've been trying to find one that I enjoy using. Heck, I should probably just make my own.
