Mr. Fantastic
Reed Richards can stretch his body to fit any situation. Bootstrap 5 stretches to fit any screen. Mobile phone, tablet, laptop, widescreen monitor — one page, zero extra work.
Bootstrap is a CSS framework: a massive external stylesheet (and JavaScript bundle) that gives you professional layout tools, pre-built components, and responsive behavior in exchange for learning its class name system.
The core is the 12-column grid. Every layout is built by dividing horizontal space into 12 equal units and assigning elements a number of those units at each screen breakpoint.
.row, wrap rows in a
.container. Assign each column a width:
col-md-6 = half-width on medium screens
and above. Bootstrap is mobile-first —
the smallest breakpoint is the default.
mt-3, p-4, fw-bold,
text-center, d-flex — these
single-purpose classes apply one CSS rule each. Before
writing a CSS rule, ask: “Does Bootstrap already
have a class for this?” Usually yes.
data-bs-toggle and data-bs-target
wire them up automatically. The modal on this page is one example.
Resize your browser. Watch the columns reflow at each breakpoint.
4+4+4 = 12. 6+6 = 12. 3+3+3+3 = 12. Columns must always add up to 12 (or fewer).
