1. How to not
design
websites with
Bootstrap
By Nico

2. First I would like to share my
passion: drawing

3. My masterpiece...

4. We can’t help, we always
judge
We’re just humans...

5. And we are all
complete freaks
regarding quality
standards
No one is able to realize anymore
that this is worth 3 years of work
plus a lifetime of practice

6. But you will be judged too !
● Each time your create a website it contains a
graphical aspect
● Each time your create something graphical it
will be subject to judgment
● … even if it’s not your job at all because you’re a
programmer, not a designer

7. The solution ?
Do not make try to invent
your own web designs, reuse
existing ones !

8. A good solution for that: Bootstrap

9. Its advantages
● Separates graphical theme from content
● Provides a bunch of reusable components that do not exist
natively in HTML
● Is aimed at being responsive and accessible
● Encourages semantic and consistency
● Allows to be a lot faster when creating websites
