Bootstrap provides a wide range of HTML elements and CSS settings as well as an advanced grid system to aid in laying out your web page designs. These settings and elements include utilities to assist with typography, code formatting, table, and form layouts to name a few.

All CSS settings and HTML elements combined with the mobile-first, a fluid grid system, enables developers to build intuitive web interfaces quickly and easily without having to worry about the nuts and bolts of enabling responsiveness for smaller device screens and styling user interface elements.

  • Laying out different Bootstrap forms

  • Using Bootstrap's validation styles for form validation

  • Using editor templates to control the HTML output for form elements
