This article will enumerate some of the most useful and practical HTML5 tools that help you create amazing modern websites.

1. Sublime Text

Therefore, Bootstrap is a web framework that focuses on simplifying the development of web pages. The main purpose of adding to a web project is to apply Bootstrap options of size, font, color and appearance to that web project. Once added to a web project, Bootstrap provides basic style definitions for all HTML elements.

Developers can also take advantage of Bootstrap’s CSS classes to customize the look and feel of their content. Bootstrap provides tables of different colors, page titles and highlighted text. Responsive design allows the web page or web application to detect the size and orientation of the visitor’s screen and to automatically adapt their display accordingly. Bootstrap contains user interface components, layouts and JavaScript tools, along with the implementation framework. Bootstrap is available pre-compiled or as a source code. The word bootstrap, in computers, means to load a program into a laptop using a much smaller initial program to load into the desired program (usually an operating system). A pre-compiled version of Bootstrap is available in the form of a CSS file and three JavaScript files that can be easily added to any web project.
