Basal
===
Basal is a lightweight, cross-browser framework for web projects. The main goal is to provide a drop-in unobtrusive modern framework to start designing a site right away, with the use of a powerful [CSS preprocessor](http://sass-lang.com).
Basal was originally a fork of Matthew Hartman's great [Base](https://github.com/matthewhartman/base) framework.
## Philosophy & Core Concepts
* cross-browser, graceful degradation implementation
* modularity & scalability
* verbose markup
* mobile-first
### Cross-browser
The framework should work across all browsers: FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari and IE8+. IE support is dropping quickly within the www community - Basal may eventually follow this trend.
### What's in the box?
Basal is a CSS framework. It provides the base styles for responsive web projects and allows for easy extension and customization - scalability and modularity first.
Basal provides the following core styles:
- bloquotes
- buttons
- code
- forms
- grid (with responsive breakpoints)
- helpers
- lists & nav
- print
- tables
- typography
along with header, footer and navigation stylesheets.
### Installation
Basal is built with [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). If you have `npm` and `sass` installed, just run
```
npm install # installs the build tools (Grunt)
grunt # runs the build task (prefix + minify the css)
```
To rebuild the files as you make changes, run
```
grunt dev
```
### Building, directory structure
The directory structure is the following:
```
|-- src/ # source code to work on
index.html
|-- scripts/
|-- styles/
main.css # compiled css files
|-- scss/ # source scss files
|-- partials/
|-- mixins/ # component-specific mixins
|-- colors/ # custom color palettes
