5 Reasons why every WordPress theme should include Twitter Bootstrap

Twitter Bootstrap is a powerful framework that gives your web presence all kinds features and functionality. When combined with WordPress your website is ready for any type of visitor on any type of device with unique styles and plugins. Below are 5 reasons we think every WordPress theme should include the Twitter Bootstrap framework.

1. Responsive Layout - Have visitors looking at your website on a mobile phone, tablet, or a any other device? Twitter Bootstrap has you covered with different CSS styles and media queries that enable your web design to resize and display your content on any device. Important 55% of mobile owners access mobile web, so having your website mobile-ready is a must!
2. Added Javascript Features - If the JS components of the Twitter Bootstrap framework are added to your theme, you can enjoy the included javascript plugins. These plugins are simply amazing! There are around 13 plugins that can be customized to fit your needs that add some great functionality to your theme. Some of our favorites include tabs, tooltips, popovers, alerts, button dropdowns, accordions, and carousels.
3. Perfect CSS Styling - We understand that you may need custom styling for your theme for branding, but Bootstrap offers perfect base styling to get you started. The framework includes styling for typography, tables, forms, buttons, images, and even icons! Your current theme probably doesn't include a majority of these styles.
4. Customization - The team that created the Twitter Bootstrap framework has included a customization page. With this page you can easily include certain features you want to include in your web project. This makes it easy to just add the features you need and not every piece of code from the framework.
5. Add-ons & Extras - There is a huge following of people that are obsessed with the framework (including us), this means that the community is always reporting bugs and asking for extra functionality. The framework is very powerful right not, but as it gets older it will only get better. Web developers are also creating add-ons that add extra styling and functionality. Sites like Bootswatch.com have themes that you can download that will change ALL the CSS styles. This will give your site a that unique look that you are looking for with the the Bootstrap features.

As we mentioned above, we are obsessed with the Twitter Boostrap framework. All of our WordPress themes on BragThemes.com include the Twitter Bootstrap framework to bring all the styling and javascript plugins to our theme users.
