Twitter's Bootstrap Toolkit

Published: 26 September 2011 | By Rolo Mawlabaux

Twitter's Bootstrap has recently taken the web development world by storm. As a Django development agency, we are constantly evaluating tools that can speed up our front-end workflow without sacrificing quality or maintainability.

What is Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is a massive, comprehensive toolkit of boilerplate HTML, CSS, and jQuery plugins. It provides a solid foundation for any project, allowing developers to focus on the business logic and unique interface requirements rather than re-inventing the grid system or button states.

Why we like it for Django projects

Integrating Bootstrap into a Django project is remarkably straightforward. Given the standard way Django handles static files, we can easily serve the CSS and JS assets while overriding the LESS or raw CSS files to match our clients' branding requirements.

Key benefits:

• Grid System: A robust, responsive grid that saves hours of layout planning.
• Components: Pre-built navigation, alerts, forms, and modals.
• Consistency: Ensures that our internal administrative interfaces and client-facing prototypes look polished from day one.
