I'm creating a website for a client that needs to have a mobile version. They already have a site right now that they want to keep, but simply want a totally different mobile version - so, i was wondering if the Twitter Bootstrap can be chopped down, so that it only uses the mobile aspect of the framework?
Apologies if my question doesn't make sense, if it doesn't, feel free to ask any more questions and i'll try to better explain myself.
To summarize, i simply want to design a mobile version of a site using Twitter Bootstrap, but ONLY a mobile version - no desktop version is needed because one already exists on the clients domain.
With the rise of JavaScript front-end frameworks and an ever-changing landscape of technology and tools, a lot of folks are out there asking if Bootstrap is still relevant in 2021. The short answer is yes.
Bootstrap is an open-source CSS framework that was developed by Mark Otto. It is mobile-friendly which means the templates render well on every device type.
There's no difference. Twitter Bootstrap was the official name for version 1.0 (Twitter Bootstrap). Later the name has been shortened.
As Robin2k mentioned, the 'bootstrap-responsive.css' / 'bootstrap-responsive.min.css' file will make your website work well on most mobile devices.
If you want to chop down the script just to decrease load times, the best advice I can give you is:
Make sure to use the .min.css
and .min.js
files, they're considerably smaller
Try CloudFlare, they will cache and compress your bootstrap files to make your site load considerably faster
