Bootstrap for Stunning Web Design - Fast

This week the focus is on Bootstrap. Bootstrap is a set of coding templates developed a few years ago by some folks at Twitter. It took off in 2011 with the realization that once released, very little was needed to take the code and customize it. Anyone with a working knowledge of HTML and CSS can take Bootstrap and customize it to create elegant web sites that are sure to please the eye.

My first reaction to Bootstrap is surprise. I expected web design to be a little more in-depth than it really is. However, I'm learning that it's just a matter of cutting and pasting code that is already established. After all, why re-invent the wheel? After that, the web designer simply goes in and inputs the content or makes minor adjustments to the code. This assists tremendously with building sites. There is no need to create new code. Of course, Bootstrap requires that you have a working knowledge of HTML and CSS and how they work together. But, with a good eye and a knack for design, Bootstrap will assist you with creating beautiful websites.

To try Bootstrap, go to www.getbootstrap.com and download the files in zip form. You will be given an ample amount of material to choose from to build your site.
