I'm going to sound like a dick for saying this, but I'm okay with it: most people's "creativity" shouldn't be expressed in a public way. Breaking away from Bootstrap and making it "less stereotypical" is probably a bad idea unless you know what you're doing. It's like putting a bejeweled, glittery case on an iPhone; yeah, it's "your creativity", but please don't.
- josh_blum 14y agoI think you're missing the point. Expressing your 'creativity' is absolutely something you should do in public, because that's the only way you can learn. As a programmer Bootstrap is the easiest way to get an idea, not a product off the ground. So experimenting is awesome. Deviating from that shows that you want to differentiate your work and are actually putting a little thought into the UI. You're also setting up a framework for yourself for next time so you can iterate and make it better. This experimenting it really what teaches you. Not just design (since you probably aren't doing it right) but how to use technologies like HTML and CSS beyond what is prepackaged for you. And this is key, since a lot of people don't know how to correctly use these, but they can add a few classes and grid layout.
