Bootstrap is a bleesing for people with close to no artistic/design skills, like me. 😊

But bad for designers because then our work is less appreciated by "simple" clients 😂

And a curse for the person who inherits your code.

@FearMediocrity how is it a curse? It's clean code

I can't seem to get a grasp on the grid system and any tutorial or video is doing a way too fast overview every time. Anybody have some recommendations on getting a grasp on the damn grid system?

@W1ckeD, a container contains rows. A row contains columns. (container)

You can have as many columns in a row as you want.

Visually, you can have 12 columns in a line, then it will wrap to the next line.

A column can define how many column spaces it takes up.

A column is defined in this style:
col-(screen size)-(column width).

It can also say how many column spaces come before it.
col-(screen size)-offset-(column width).

The screen size can be any one of xs, sm, md or lg.
"col-xs-12 col-md-6" means "take up 12 columns on a really small screen (phone), and 6 columns on a medium sized screen (tablet).

Hope this helped you

Hmm

My client hates how our bootstrap site looks

But he also hated the wp theme he picked out and then never used the site

I manage to make an ugly design even with bootstrap. Trust me I'm a (backend) programmer.

@vortex me af

As a designer, also front-end and WP dev, i only using bootstrap for complex design layou variation. Something like if you have options to change footer widget column, or sidebar position, Or content column. And i only take the grid system. If its just simple responsive site with no variation layout, i prefer using percentage stuff and media query handcoded.

@liammartens Why do you think it's called 'Bootstrap'? And not 'Shoelace'?😉
