worst advice:
"Use Bootstrap"

I'm not a web designer and don't claim to have any knowledge about it, so what is wrong with bootstrap? Something seems better than nothing.

Whats wrong? It isnt wordpress...

Its currently the most-used CSS-Framework and soo much themes are based on it - including some famous websites 😉

Bootstrap is good and bad at the same time

It’s Good due to being an all in one framework you just include on your site and throw a 12 col grid up and alway you go without a lot of custom css being required.

It’s Bad due to the fact it’s an all in one and almost all of the classes and formatting within the beast will undoubtably never be used and just add to the monsterous file size you hand to your users.

@C0D4 although if you link to the official CDN chances are pretty high that your users will have it cached on their machines already.

I always ended up rewriting the thing because I didn't like how a button looked or a navbar or the concept of a navbar bar at all. So now I custom make my designs, takes a ton of time but the result is exactly how I like it

I like the idea of bootstrap but after using it (pretty much the only advice I ever got xD because I'm still student) I said to myself.. not ever again, I prefer 100% selfwritten

I like the idea of Bootstrap but it is a giant clusterfuck if you just want to build something simple AND good-looking.

Well, CSS layout isn't as complicated as people make of it, so I have never understood, why use Bootstrap :/
I use it only in the cases when the time is running short. And even then it's a shame to have tons of wrappers around everything :/

My boss recommend it because responsibility is really well handled with Bootstrap and easy as f-

But really by-hand is easier and better

@ItsNotMyFault CDN is handy but not secure.
