Bootstrap Grid Classes

Responsive Foundation uses a modified version of the Bootstrap grid system. W3schools has some great documentation on that here. Bootstrap is set up so that you use two classes together to create a grid – your column class, which holds your content, and a row class that wraps around it so that the content lines up with the grid. The column classes rely on padding to create gutters, so putting a background on your row or column classes when using these classes will probably not give you the results you’re expecting to see. If you need to add a background, you probably want to use our custom margin classes instead.
