Bootstrap

A popular, pre-built CSS framework with ready-made components — buttons, grids, navigation, forms — meant to speed up building a site’s front end without writing every style from scratch.

No — this site is fully custom CSS, which is the more deliberate choice for a project like this. Bootstrap remains a familiar, capable tool for projects where a proven component library is the better fit.

Tighter timelines, internal tools, or projects where a recognizable, well-tested set of UI components matters more than a fully custom look — Bootstrap earns its place there.

It can, if the full framework is loaded but only a fraction of it is actually used — a common source of unnecessary bloat compared to lean, purpose-built CSS.

Yes, with real design effort — but a lot of Bootstrap sites skip that step, which is exactly why so many end up looking similar to each other.

Its components have reasonable accessibility defaults, but like any framework, it still needs to be implemented and tested carefully rather than assumed to be automatically compliant.

It can require real rework, since a site’s structure and styling often end up tightly coupled to the framework’s own class system — worth considering upfront if long-term flexibility matters to you.

Yes — its grid system and components are built mobile-first, which is a big part of why it became so popular in the first place.

No — whether a site is built with Bootstrap or fully custom CSS, day-to-day content management happens through WordPress’s normal editing screens either way.

Full control over exactly what loads, no fighting a framework’s defaults, and typically a leaner, faster result — this site’s own build is a working example of that approach.
