While some put a lot of stock into websites such as these, I would encourage you to not do so. As they may offer one point of reference to figure out the worth of a website you own, are selling, or would like to buy, they should just be one of many other statistical references to gather data from. If nothing else, they offer a form of entertainment, and you can grab a nifty website badge from some of them to impress your friends and co-workers.

Do you ever find yourself sitting in front of Photoshop for hours trying to mock up a decent navigation menu, or searching the web for the most aesthetically pleasing color palettes for your users to click on that doesn't remind them of McDonalds or a funeral parlor? Face it, sometimes we all lose our mojo for a moment or two, and then we are forced to validate ourselves not just to the W3C, but also to our website visitors, design clients and portfolio piranhas. And then we remember that through the general kindness of a group of web designers and/or developers, and through organizations such as The Creative Commons who work to guarantee that kind freedom, we don't always have to be the Picaso of style sheets.

The core of Foundation can be summed up in a few points: A 12-column, percentage-based grid with an arbitrary maximum width. The grid can be nested and used for quite complex layouts, and it works all the way back to IE 7. The grid reshuffles itself for smaller devices. Image styles that disregard pixels. Images in Foundation are scaled by the grid to different widths. UI and layout elements. Foundation includes common pieces such as typography and forms, as well as tabs, pagination, N-up grids and more. Mobile visibility classes. Rapidly prototyping is partly about having built-in functionality to tailor the experience. Foundation lets you very quickly hide and show elements on desktops, tablets and phones. We deliberately built Foundation as a starting point, not as a style guide. We've included some styles to help you rapidly build something clickable and usable, but not something stylistically complete. Everything in Foundation is meant to be customized, including button styles, form styles (even custom radio, checkbox and select elements), typography, and layout elements such as tabs.

The average cost of obtaining one is around $500 USD ($25 per month).
