What is Bootstrap CSS?

Bootstrap is a free, open-source CSS framework that helps you build responsive websites quickly. It provides a set of pre-built components, a grid system, and styling utilities so you can create layouts without writing everything from scratch. The framework handles the technical work of making sites look good on phones, tablets, and desktops, which means you spend less time on basic layout problems and more time on what makes your site unique. Bootstrap is popular with both beginners learning web design and experienced developers who want to move faster on projects.
