Many Many Many Sub-Domains
20 June 2022 @ 10:37 pm
Sometimes we come across sites that have lots of subdomains. Some of them are really weird but others are legitimate, i.e. they are banks like HSBC or Internet technology companies like Hubspot or colleges like Lamar University. We though it might be useful to have these are a filter and report in BuiltWith – You […]

BuiltWith Top 1m
20 April 2022 @ 10:06 pm
TL;DR – Follow this link to the ZIP – https://builtwith.com/top-1m When we got started with BuiltWith in 2007 we relied heavily on the Quantcast Top 1m file that Quantcast used to provide in those days. Alexa also provided a Top 1m file but it contained URLs like YouTube channels so we always preferred the Quantcast […]
Technology Joins
21 March 2022 @ 9:25 pm
We’ve just added easier links to popular technology joins. This is basically a feature you can create using the Pro tool. For example you can create a list of sites using Shopify that are also using HubSpot. We are highlighting the most popular joins and the ones we think are going to be the most […]
Lists by Financial, Group and Region
14 February 2022 @ 12:32 am
Sales people at larger companies are sometimes defined ‘regions’ to work in. For example, just focus on businesses in APAC or EMEA or America. So we’ve created new report groupings for these regions. There’s a lot of variations to choose from and they are all accessible on the sidebar of technology reports – This saves […]

Are we Net Zero yet?
21 November 2021 @ 11:22 pm
No for the time being is the answer but really close. That should have changed by 2025 (just 3 and a bit years from now). How do you quantify if your business is net zero emissions? There is a standard for quantifying it, ISO 14064-1:2018 – but it’s 158 Swiss Francs just to read it […]

The past year has been brutal for retailers, with many respected brands closing stores or shutting down completely. Traditional retailers like Sears, Kmart, JCPenny and Macy’s are struggling to find footing and losing customers. It’s not as if this wasn’t expected- Amazon has been disrupting the world of retail the last twenty years by driving online shopping growth and creating record breaking revenue. People call it The Amazon Effect.
But is this Amazon Effect real? Or is it just the natural turnover of poorly performing companies? According to the Census Bureau, retail spending as a whole is up 5% year over year, and up 17% in the last five years. The ACSI also says there is a rise in how people feel about ret
Foundation started out as an internal tool to help our team build cutting edge applications for our clients more quickly. Little did we know, it would blow up to be one of the most popular open source projects ever, accelerate the adoption of responsive web design, and power hundreds of thousands of brands all across the world. We're proud that Foundation has become a leading voice helping shape where the web is heading. However, through our constant conversations with students, the community, and 
Whether for internal use or for an open-source project, most programmers hate writing technical documentation. Not just dislike, hate. They hate it. And because they hate it, it usually isn't very good. It can be hard to follow and incomplete, which is irritating to experienced devs and causes panic attacks for newbies just trying to learn something. RTFM, or Read the F@$%& Manual, is an expression commonly thrown at people trying to learn some new coding language or technology, but how can they if nobody wants to WriteTFM?
But even if a developer or team wants to create good documentation, it will inevitably fall short because not everyone learns best through reading. Many people are visual learners, and even more learn best through the act of doing.
The Foundation Building Blocks library has been rebuilt from the ground up with over 100 code snippets in six categories including Navigation, Status, Control, Media, Containers and Form components. Built by the ZURB team, these are the most common and useful design patterns and UI components we've found in our two decades of web development work. Just browse the library, select the Building Block you need, and copy and paste the code into your pr
Did you know that most men own at least one pair of underwear that's over 7 years old? We didn't' and we sort of wish that realization stayed hidden from us, to be honest. MeUndies, a company leading the movement in underwear innovation by providing comfortable everyday basics and a transparent shopping experience, gave us this fact. They recently started using Foundation on their site in an effort to boost their mobile sales, which constitutes most of their traffic and we wanted to share their story.
After 7 years, it was time for MeUndies to change their site's underwear, which is to say their code. See, the MeUndies site was beginning to boom on mobile, but they were losing sales by not optimizing the experience and ease of use for those mobile users. The team began to put their heads together and started exploring solutions.
The explosion of native mobile apps this decade put a spotlight on human centered design. Apple's iPhone and iOS were breakthroughs in part because of the way they used design to mimic humans and appeal to emotion. How good a design looks now plays second fiddle to the way it feels. New terms like 'microinteractions' and 'reactive animations' have been thrust into the designer's vernacular. It's a new era of design, the 'Experience Era.'
While mobile has been killin' it in this area, desktop experiences have still felt cl
Designers, it's time to elevate our game or get off the pot. Yes, I'm telling designers to step up. Because I'm not seeing it happen. What I see now are scared designers afraid to make decisions on behalf of their organizations. Creators and craftsmen struggling to tell other people what works best, and it's putting their own future along with their organization's in jeopardy.
Everyone wants the benefits that come along with authority and influence, but most don't want what inevitably follows: the responsibility of decision making. Making decisions all day requires tremendous amounts of mental energy. Sometimes it's not fun and it can be scary. These feelings, combined with impostor syndrome, put doubt into the heads of
