## What it is
FoundationPress is a WordPress starter theme built on Zurb's Foundation 6 responsive front-end framework, using a Sass-based build workflow. It provides a clean starting point for custom WordPress theme development rather than a finished product.

## Use cases
- build a custom WordPress theme with Foundation 6
- starter theme for WordPress development with Sass
- responsive mobile-first WordPress theme boilerplate
- set up a WordPress theme with a modern build pipeline
- customize a WordPress theme using Foundation components

## When to choose
- you are maintaining or extending an existing FoundationPress-based WordPress site
- you specifically want Foundation 6 as your WordPress theme's CSS framework
- you need a clean, unopinionated WordPress starter theme to fork

## When to avoid
- starting a new project, since the theme and Foundation 6 are both deprecated and unmaintained
- you want a theme based on an actively developed framework like Bootstrap or Tailwind
- you need long-term security updates or modern Node.js compatibility

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: css-framework, templating, build-tool
- domain: web-development, cms, frontend
- platform: php, self-hosted
