Menu
Who could please tell me what would be the simplest and cleanest way to do exactly the same sidebar navigation as this website : http://www.makerstudios.com/ (but on the left side)
Using bootstrap 3
Thanks.

Here is a super useful plugin / add-on for Bootstrap 3. It is called Jasny Bootstrap and among the many features, one is an off-canvas navigation. The looks and feels of it is very much like Bootstrap, so if that is your framework of choice (like for me), I highly recommend this.
I had some issue with the sidebar closing automatically after each click in the menu, so the fix for that (if you need it) was to add data-autohide="false" to the button that opens the panel. This way it stays open until the user clicks on a 'CLOSE' link.
<a data-toggle="offcanvas" data-target=".navmenu" data-canvas="body" data-autohide="false">CLICK</a>
I found this fiddle it may help you as well Demo

EDIT: I've added one more option for bootstrap sidebars.
There are actually three manners in which you can make a bootstrap 3 sidebar. I tried to keep the code as simple as possible.
Here you can see a demo of a simple fixed sidebar I've developed with the same height as the page
I've also developed a rather simple column sidebar that works in a two or three column page inside a container. It takes the length of the longest column. Here you can see a demo
If you google bootstrap dashboard, you can find multiple suitable dashboard, such as this one. However, most of them require a lot of coding. I've developed a dashboard that works without additional javascript (next to the bootstrap javascript). Here is a demo
For all three examples you off course have to include the jquery, bootstrap css, js and theme.css files.
For making the sidebar transposable you need a simple javascript file that transposes the desired sidebar, such as given in other answers on this page or here
If you want the sidebar to hide on pressing a button this is also possible with only a little javascript.Here is a demo

This solution is only for people who use Angular. Using ng-class of Angular, we can hide and show the side bar.
http://jsfiddle.net/DVE4f/359/
<div class="container" style="width:100%" ng-app ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<div class="row">
<div ng-class="showgraphSidebar ? 'col-xs-3' : 'hidden'" id="colPush" >
Sidebar
</div>
<div ng-class="showgraphSidebar ? 'col-xs-9' : 'col-xs-12'" id="colMain" >
<button ng-click='toggle()' >Sidebar Toggle</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.
function AppCtrl($scope) {
$scope.showgraphSidebar = false;
$scope.toggle = function() {
$scope.showgraphSidebar = !$scope.showgraphSidebar;
}
}
