Care to elaborate? I love Bootstrap but I look at this and see a design whose creator probably didn't see much benefit to using Bootstrap beyond being part of the Bootstrap ecosystem (i.e. they can clearly create a great design with or without Bootstrap).
- yazmeya 14y agoThe point here is that there's now a million websites that just take the bootstrap L&F verbatim. And I'm not talking someone's weekend projects; these are in productions and trolling for revenue. While there's a clear benefit in using bootstrap (LESS, sane semantics, little boilerplate, etc.), there's no excuse for punting on your own design message.
- pault 14y agoWell, just because you can roll your own javascript library doesn't mean it's always the most effective way to build a website. What I like about this specifically is: it extends and overrides bootstrap, which makes it forward-compatible, and it does a great job of creating a very distinctive UI while retaining standard bootstrap DOM structure, so (in theory) you can just drop it into your existing bootstrap site and nothing will break. Everything else I've seen so far re: skinning bootstrap has been very underwhelming. Tweaking the default color variables just isn't enough.
- andrewcross 14y agoAgreed. I love bootstrap's structure and formatting, but am hesitant to use it anymore since it gives off a "weekend side-project" vibe instead of "serious company". Themes like these that change the appearance without changing the structure are awesome. Most bootstrap themes are just color modifications to the standard bootstrap. Inspiritas actually looks and feels completely new, which makes it useful. Kudos to Jonatan.
