We’re transitioning a 20 year old website with over a billion annual page views over to a fully bootstrap 4 front-end. The site is a grab bag of technologies and frameworks from across the ages, so it’s not a simple task. We’ve approached it using component based ‘atomic’ design principles, using Bootstrap’s defaults wherever possible. The company is rebranding next year so the styles need to be really easy to change. As for v4 vs v3, there’s a few changes in syntax and the under-the-hood move to Flexbox, but as far as I’m aware the front-end team haven’t run into any showstoppers. Once the transition is complete the plan is to compile our own version of Bootstrap with only the js and css we need. (Yes, Racket’s a language. I was thinking of a nifty static site generator I saw written in it the other day. I’d love to build a site with it but under no circumstances would hand it over to a client.)
