This site is built with npm, bower, jekyll, grunt and compass. These components are used for the following purposes:

• npm: set up the environment for grunt (@see package.json)
• bower: manage frontend packages—mainly foundation, jquery and font-awesome in this case (@see bower.json; note that we never edit the files in bower_components)
• jekyll: builds the static site (@see _config.yml)
• compass: makes css from sass (@see config.rb; note: I haven't confirmed that this file is even being used since I'm running compass from grunt)
• grunt: currently used for the following tasks (@see Gruntfile.js):
  • run compass
  • concatenate, and minify/uglify javascript files
  • copy javascript files
  • run Jekyll
