Do you know 7 out of 10 websites are developed using the Bootstrap framework?
Did you know that despite regular changes and the rapid evolution of web technology, Bootstrap has maintained its leading position among front-end libraries for nearly ten years?
A solid reputation
Bootstrap has the advantage of being a product of Twitter, a highly reputable American tech company. An efficient and competitive team consistently works hard on its maintenance and evolution, regularly releasing new features and valuable, easy-to-integrate tools.
Mobile-first approach
Over half of Internet users access the web via mobile devices, so having a responsive website is crucial. Bootstrap 5 boasts the most efficient container, grid, row, and column system on the market, making websites easily adaptable to any mobile device, from small media devices (smartphones and tablets) to widescreen devices.
Time and effort-saving
Bootstrap provides web developers with pre-built UI components such as tables, buttons, carousels, pop-ups, navigation bars, etc., which can be used to create websites and web applications, speeding up the design and development process. Additionally, many Bootstrap-based resources can be found online, thanks to a very active community of developers and designers. These elements can save valuable time when developing a website from scratch.
Consistency in user experience
Bootstrap developers have designed a library that can be used to create intuitive websites and web applications. Websites developed with Bootstrap follow a logic that users are familiar with: they know where to click to get a specific result. The benefits of Bootstrap, especially version 5, extend not only to users but also to developers. The library is well-structured and organized, making it easily customizable by any developer. A website or web app developed with Bootstrap can be easily maintained and updated.
Even web giants have adopted Bootstrap
Apple has used Bootstrap for the web interface of Apple Music and Apple Maps. Dropbox relies heavily on the Bootstrap library for its platform. Airbnb, Netflix, Paypal, and many other web giants trust Bootstrap for its easy-to-maintain code and user-friendly development.
Conclusion
Bootstrap 5 introduced several new features, such as responsive fonts, an integrated SVG library, optimized navigation, and new JS libraries that improve website performance, especially in their responsive versions.
This is an important aspect to consider because Bootstrap is future-oriented and focused on the next generation of applications and websites that will make mobile their primary focus.
