If HTML is a man, CSS is the dress he wears. CSS describes the styles of the HTML elements. According to the w3school,  CSS saves a lot of work as it can control the layout of many web pages all at once.

But if you are designing websites and web applications, using one of the front-end web-framework can be necessary. It would not only ensure better designs but also save time. If you are to choose one, Bootstrap is the one that you cannot deny.

If you know HTML, CSS, and JavasScript you probably would love the power Bootstrap!

Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end web framework. Originally, Bootstrap was known as Twitter BluePrint developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton at Twitter. Today, it is the world’s most popular front-end component library.

Advantages of Using Bootstrap

  1. Ease of Usability

    It provides fewer files unlike for those who are accustomed to hard code using CSS. Having lesser files reduces the work of the developer and increases the ease of usability.

  2. High Flexibility

    Bootstrap gives the developers the flexibility to develop. As a framework, it has templates for typography forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components. These rich features provide the developers the room for better designs with high flexibility.

    Based on the project specifications, developers have the choice to pick the components. Use fewer variables and jQuery plugins as per requirements.  A developer can create his/her own version of Bootstrap!

  4.  Responsive Grids

    Bootstrap offers a 12 column grid system which is responsive. These girds adjust itself depending on the device resolution of the client.

  5. Rich Components

    Bootstrap provides a large number of reusable components. These components provide iconography, dropdowns, input groups, navigation, alerts, and much more. Each of these components is explained here.
