Request for Recommendation of Bootstrap Templates

[mw84]

Hi,

I’d like to get myself familiar with Bootstrap, thought one way to do it would be to play with some of its popular templates. I’m interested in simpe and yet elegant templates, and yes free. Happen to know any such Bootstrap templates out there?

Thanks.

No answers yet, was it because most simple and yet elegant Boostrap templates are not free?

‘simple and elegant’ is really a matter of personal taste so you should probably go looking for templates yourself in order to make your own judgements.

But if you want to learn more about Bootstrap, the official documentation would be the most logical (to me) place to start http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/ Over and above that its hard to comment because we don’t know what aspect of Bootstrap you want to learn about. Even if you were to tell us, I feel that it would just lead to suggestions to read X chapter of the docs.

@Beverleyh, I appreciate your taking the time to respond. In the meantime, I disagree on the perception of “simple and elegant” website, if most visitors thinks that the website is so then it’s so. Secondly, on bootstrap, surely, I know its URL, what you described is a conventional way of learning, what I had in mind is something called “in-time-learning” or sort of “project-based” learning as well.

I’m afraid my conventional, start-at-the-beginning doc link is the best I can do without knowing which aspects you specifically want to learn about, but with more guidance, we might be able to recommend specific chapters or other external resources to facilitate your Just In Time learning.

Good luck with your project.

@Beverleyh, I appreciate your time and intention. Let’s start with an example, for instance, here’s a website I just created based on a Bootstrap template I found, http://www.titlereporttool.com/

And this process of turning some that looks cool into something of your own quickly is what I’m looking for (and of course many thanks to those bootstrap folks for making it possible…)

But I’d like to have at least several different “simple and elegant” website styles based on Bootsrap (google search hasn’t been able to find such ones…). Thus, the very question. I don’t consider to become a bootstrap expert…

I don’t know of any freebie Bootstrap templates offhand but hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me in that area will reply.

On a different note, isn’t this your usual account? https://css-tricks.com/forums/users/knowledgenotebook/
