I've just started using Bootstrap for a project /w ASP.NET MVC, loving it! amazing! I'm disappointed that there aren't more components available, in terms of, example layout components you can drop in. (I.E a listing, detail, boxes, typography variants in a box) All sorts of things, to speed up development even more.
Are there any additional plugins that Bootstrap offers, or any other CSS/HTML component libraries available that could help me out?
Please try Kickstrap. That is a full version of Twitter's Bootstrap with themes, enhancements, and other goodies.
The following link points to Bootstrap HTML Helpers.. they don't add much new in terms of components, but they do make the code cleaner and speed up development:

Hope this helps.

I want to refine my wordpress theme development process which is:
To make a unique-creative design with Adobe XD or Figma.
To convert it to static HTML using VS Code with Bootstrap.
In wordpress, create custom post types with PODS.
To convert the static HTML in WP templates with Timber.
Based on my experience, this process is the best for me, but I want to integrate better my themes with WP-Blocks.
So, my question is: there are some clean starter-theme ready to use with blocks to use as the main theme and later extend it with a child theme with my custom theme?
I found https://wordpress.org/themes/cormorant/ that works very well with Bootstrap and it's an empty theme so didn't interfere with my design.
Here's the most popular Bootstrap theme with Gutenberg support, has very good child theme support. A solid agency has bought the repo and taken over, they recently added bootstrap 5 support. This should help your process:

I find it difficult with Gutenberg to use CSS framework, I don't see much benefits since blocks are already using flexbox and grid.
UPDATE: best answer exists here :), https://wptavern.com/ask-the-bartender-is-there-a-starter-for-building-block-themes
good day guys, i am new to web development, so apperntly, i got a work to design an ecommerce site for a client. the client wants something similar to www.gallerydept.com . But when i used inspect, i noticed the cdn is shopify's and not bootstrap and i'm only familiar with bootstrap.
how can i convert or intergrate bootstrap?
or what is the best suggestion or advice you can give me?
(please remember i'm new to web dev)
A suggestion would be - Don't use bootstrap within shopify.
Reason - Bootstrap has their own set of customizations and shopify's depends upon the theme you are using. Let's consider two scenarios:
For example, you want to create a modal popup and you directly use the bootstrap's library for the same. The look and feel will be different and then you would add your own CSS to override that - problematic thing.
Second scenario, you integrate bootstrap's cdn into shopify then all the other components styling will get affected like buttons, navbar, hrefs etc. So the flow is bootstrap's css overrided your shopify theme css and then you will override both in order to get back to the original - shortly it will become unmanageable.
But after all this I am not saying don't go ahead with this, what I have seen some people doing is utilizing only bootstrap's flexbox system to manage responsiveness in custom shopify pages (which is a good technique because bootstrap's flexbox system is pretty great). So basically what they do is take bootstrap's CSS file and remove all CSS tags not pertaining to the flexbox system and use that leftover CSS file.
And answering your doubt, what you should do now is - go with native HTML/CSS. You get stuck somewhere, SO that doubt/get the code by inspecting the website you have.
Shopify is using themes so you can start looking into tutorials on how to create themes for Shopify. Bootstrap is only controlling the look and feel of the website which is what you do. Shoppify will control the entire ecommerce functionality. So you can use Bootstrap inside the Shopify theme.
You need to be using LIQUID to code anything in Shopify and be sure not to use SCSS only CSS
I may have a very stupid question for some of you, but I am a beginner, and need a little help from some of you who have experience in this area.
For example, I work freelance or have my own business where I do web design with HTML, CSS and JS.
Now I feel very comfortable writing my code with the FLEXBOXGrid system instead of maybe Bootstrap4 or something like that.
does it matter, if I use the Flexboxgrid system or bootstrap or maybe raw Html,css without frameworks?
Is it perhaps better paid to do it with Bootstrap than with Flexboxgrid?
Thanks !
FlexboxGrid http://flexboxgrid.com/ is just a grid. If you need make things like modals, tooltips, etc. use Bootstrap. Bootstrap offers the grid and other components.
That said, do what you feel comfortable with. But a few caveats:
1) When using a framework, it's good to know the underlying technology and how it works, because you can debug your code faster and make optimizations easier.
2) You also don't need to know the underlying technology all that well to use a framework. That's why the framework was invented. It was made to speed up the entire dev process. So by all means, use Bootstrap if you need a suite of components, use FlexboxGrid if you just need a grid. You can also make a custom build of Bootstrap. A quick Google only turned up a custom build of Bootstrap 3 https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/customize/ But if you're using npm to get your libraries you can probably import only the parts of the framework you need.
3) If you're looking to just get the job done for the front-end try approaching it like this:
- What does the client need (modals, grids, static content, etc?)
- If client needs more than static content and a grid, use Bootstrap
- Checkout bootstraps Docs, also checkout other forms of bootstrap. There's two that I love: https://github.com/thednp/bootstrap.native
and https://reactstrap.github.io/
If you're not looking to add more overhead, go with Bootstrap Native.
You're going to get paid based on the agreed upon price. But if you make a fantastic looking site quickly, you may get more. Remember that when using Bootstrap, you can customize the CSS to essentially add your own theme. There are also plenty of free themes out there.
Best of luck
I am in the process of learning and building my first website using HTML/CSS.
I have come across several nifty tricks that rely solely on CSS or sometimes on CSS+HTML to create a variety of UI features (or should I call them widgets or components?). I want to learn more about these, but I can't find proper name(s) for such features.
From what little I have been able to learn, some of them are commonly known as: Accordions, Tabs, Carousel (slider), Flip-boxes, etc.
Is there any authentic/reliable source where I can learn proper names of these CSS features or widgets, and then learn more about using them in my work.
Thanks,
These are the most common HTML/CSS/Javascript frameworks to build websites.
Go through with their Documentation.
ZurbFoundation
Bootstrap
Refer to some CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Semantic-ui. They will have a bunch of css components/elements under them.
Use Semantic-ui page to get started
Can i use bootstrap framework entirely to make professional websites which people would buy.
Is there market up for website development using bootstrap.
Please help to start with this?
You absolutely can! Many website templates are made with the Bootstrap framework. It is a framework that many designers/developers know and can easily modify.
Using an already-established framework gives you the time-saving advantage of not having to code many elements since they are already predefined.
I say give it a go!
