📖 More Bootstrap
As Bootstrap is a Front-end Framework, it has many tools built-in for immediate use by professional developers. In this article, we will discuss how to build a new page using a Bootstrap template and incorporating a couple of Bootstrap page enhancements. All of this is found on the Get Bootstrap developer's site.
Icons
One of the first things we want to call to your attention is the new extensive Bootstrap Icon library. Bootstrap developers have been working to expand the number of icons available for use in native Bootstrap without having to add another library like Font Awesome or Google APIs. Not that there's anything wrong with these libraries, they're great. It's just that if you are already working out of a library, why would you want to add more overhead to your coding and page development?
Bootstrap Icons can be found on the Get Bootstrap developer's page.
Cards
Cards are another design element that is not unique to Bootstrap. They are flexible content containers often used to group like content together in portable, scalable containers. These can be used for user profile badges like you see to the left of this article highlighting the author of this article. They are also often used to display product pictures, descriptions and pricing on eCommerce shopping sites. The sample card below is created only with html and no custom css beyond the Bootstrap core.
Templates
Templates are another great benefit to rapid development. While Bootstrap has many templates offered for sale there are a few example Bootstrap pages you can use as basic templates with menus, cards, carousels and other Bootstrap enhanced visual elements. You can see the example pages at https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/examples/. You will need to download the example files, unzip the files and combine elements from the files that have the features you want to use. The process is fairly simple and can be embellished with any of the core Bootstrap components.
Here is the Jumbotron example from Get Bootstrap. Once you've downloaded the example files, you can easily extract the page files you want to use and customize them to fit your site needs. The Jumbotron shown below has a large banner that is designed to incorporate a background image with overlapping text with the body of the page in a three column layout. It also has a responsive fixed nav bar at the top which could be adapted to a sticky nav using basic css properties.
