My RWD is in Bootsrap3
I am 50% partner at a Template & extension business specifically for the Joomla CMS
Also partner at start-ups:- marketing SASS & consulting
-website maintenance/services
Our biggest challenge is finding tools & solutions that are easy to use & responsive
To make our Responsive Websites
- We need to use a CMS + Dev Platform > best SME ROI = Joomla
- Reduce, re-use, recycle …. ….. responsive framework in Boostrap3 ….. FOSS extensions & big dev user-base ….. easy re-use and maintenance.
The Good
- Bootstrap3 …. has awesome sauce- Fast dev, with easy customisation & overrides- Classes, with multiple break points- jQuery built in, so easy extensibility- Has many, many contributors- So very stable and new features being added all
the time.- Easy learning - similar to other RWD frameworks
The Bad & The Ugly
- It is what it is … a front-end RWD framework
- Lazy designers pump out generic sites
- Well …… downside of something like BS3 ??
