This lesson

This lesson teaches Callouts—the ideas, syntax, and habits you need before moving on in Foundation.

Foundation skills help when you inherit marketing sites built on Zurb’s grid system.

You will apply Callouts in contexts like: Large marketing sites, email-adjacent layouts, and legacy responsive redesigns.

Read the lesson, edit HTML/CSS in the playground, press Run to preview, then answer the lesson MCQs.

When the previous lesson's MCQs feel easy and you can explain Callouts in your own words.

Callouts are Foundation’s bordered message panels—cousins to Bootstrap alerts. Base class callout plus primary, secondary, success, warning, or alert for semantic color.

Usage patterns

  • Page-level announcements and policy notes
  • Nested tips inside article body copy
  • closable callouts with close button (requires Foundation JS)

Include visible text for status—not color alone. Pair with lead or headings when the callout is the hero message on a landing section.

Self-check

  1. Which class combination creates a warning callout?
  2. When is a callout more appropriate than a label?
