You’ve spent plenty of time building up a great base of knowledge of HTML and CSS and even design. But it’s still a pain in the butt to lay out everything manually and keep repeating yourself all the time when writing your code. If only there was a way to save yourself all kinds of effort…
Frameworks to the rescue! Frameworks like Twitter Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation have done all the heavy lifting of packaging up commonly used CSS code and even icons and interactions (like menu dropdowns) for you. All you have to do is understand how they expect you to lay out your site and which classes they use to designate particular batches of styles.
Frameworks let you focus more on building great sites and less on how they are actually coded up on the front end. They are great for learning and great for rapidly producing sites. Once you’ve taken a tour through Bootstrap, you’ll start looking at every site you see (especially startup ones) and notice an awful lot of similarities… one of the downsides of the frameworks.
