Bootstrap is a free front-end framework for developing responsive, mobile-first websites and web applications. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for common tasks like building layouts, user interfaces, forms, and navigation, as well as optional JavaScript plugins. Bootstrap can be downloaded or used via a CDN, and includes a grid system, tables, images, jumbotron, wells, alerts, and buttons. The grid system uses 12 columns that automatically re-arrange on different screen sizes, and features different classes for tablet, desktop, and larger desktop layouts.
