Forrst: Helping Designers and Developers Get Better

Forrst was established as a community where designers and developers can help each other in honing their craft through intelligent critics and shared knowledge. Earlier in 2014, Zurb acquired Forrst and effectively overhauled the company for a fresher look and new and better features. Zurb imposed more responsive designs to Forrst which work well on mobile devices.

Reviews about Forrst indicate that the company works like a “dribble” for designers and developers. Groups and individuals can post their work on the Forrst platform and expect feedback. This strategy, which works well for Forrst, is a part of the Expo education program of Zurb.

Forrst was founded in 2009 by Kyle Bragger. Forrst attracted thousands of users, including Colourlovers, which purchased the company later. After implementing a number of changes and updates, Colourlovers sold Forrst to Zurb. Forrst weathered two ownership changes this year, indicating its surviving instincts. According to Zurb, Forrst is doing right and is back to a good place.
