Can I use my own CSS when using Foundation 5?

Does anyone know if I can add my own CSS to a Foundation 5 site, while using their CSS for the grids, also if you can use your own CSS to Style your page, what folder would you put your CSS in, and where would you put in the CSS in your head section? I would assume that you would add your custom CSS after the Foundation CSS. Thanks for any help.

Hey Mr. X,

Yes, you can totally use your own CSS with any framework like Foundation or Bootstrap. It's really simple. Just add your own .css file into the project directory and name/link it appropriately. When adding your own custom CSS to a framework's typically a file name like custom.css is what a lot of people lean towards. Within that file just organize your markup appropriately with comment flags and keeps things semantic. After that, you should be good to go :)

Maybe check out Guil's frameworks course here on TH. He does the exact thing you're talking about to override certain styles within the Foundation framework. Hope this helps man!
