Update
If you're only starting with Waterlee check out the "Getting started" article here: http://jakesharp.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/245052-intro-to-waterlee
Remember this is a boilerplate not a production ready theme ;)
Whether you have the design ready or design directly in the browser, best if combined, you're saving time and effort using style patterns for layout and components already built in.
When we all speak the same lingo it's easier to communicate inside the design/development process to achieve the best result, hence the ZURB Foundation 5 Documentation. http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/
CSS is notorious for being easily turned into pile of unreadable code. Cut that at the roots with organizing your SCSS files separately related to the component, template or page view.
Adapting the site to the plethora of devices is a battle inside itself. Win it constantly by using built-in classes and media queries and build upon that with your own customized code.
Checkout the demo: It's pretty ugly but you know better than to expect a boilerplate to be good looking, right? http://waterlee.jakesharp.co
modman init
in magento root dir. Modman creates this way .modman folder in which you will have your modules installed.modman clone waterlee-boilerplate https://github.com/zeljkoprsa/waterlee-boilerplate.git
modman clone easytabs https://github.com/tmhub/easytabs.git
npm install
to install node_modules locallybower install
to install bower_components (Foundations with it's dependencies and the rest...)Once you install the Waterlee package and assuming you already installed the "Jake Sharp" extension used for the main category menu which is packed within the theme package, go to your Magento administration backend and look for "Jake Sharp" theme settings under "System -> Configuration | Configuration -> JAKESHARP WATERLEE -> Theme Settings -> Enable" to enable the theme's menu.

Despite our waterlee-boilerplate updates, you want to have latest foundation version, right? Do it yourself! 'foundation update' should do the trick if you install bower & foundation client. Follow these simple instructions on ZURB's website: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/sass.html
Run this in shell (Inside waterlee-boilerplate/skin/frontend/waterlee-boilerplate/default) and you'll get CSS injection into your browser, file watching, browser synchronisation, concatenation, minification, sourcemaps ...
$ gulp
For starters, Waterlee is based on ZURB Foundation framework 5 which relies on mobile first approach. This means that all of the HTML classes for layout at your disposal are mobile-first so keep that in mind while developing. There is a folder named "custom" under the "/skin/frontend/waterlee-boilerplate/default/src/scss/".
The "custom" folder is already configured following the OOCSS principles of separating as many styling areas such as: page views, global components etc. All of the files are then imported into one main style.scss. Feel free to adapt it to your needs or not use it at all. Our recommendation is that you build upon it, suggest improvements for organization or just first take it for a spin to see the benefits.
It's refreshing to have the that final SCSS organized by maintaining focus using separate .scss files where you can easily find redundant code. If you get lost you can always find that HTML class using the find function in your IDE.
