Bootstrap Case: My First Bootstrap Website
Build a Bootstrap Web Page From Scratch
The following pages will show how to build a Bootstrap website from scratch.
We will start with a simple HTML page, and then add more and more
components, until we have a fully functional and responsive website.
We will start with the following HTML page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Case</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<h1>My first Bootstrap website!</h1>
<p>This page
will grow as we add more and more components from
Bootstrap...</p>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another
paragraph.</p>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Add Bootstrap CDN and Put Elements in Containers
The first thing we will do is to add the Bootstrap CDN and a link to jQuery.
Next, we put all the HTML elements in the <body>
element inside a container
(<div class="container">
):
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Case</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>My first Bootstrap website!</h1>
<p>This page
will grow as we add more and more components from
Bootstrap...</p>
<p>This is another
paragraph.</p>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Tip: To let the page fill the whole screen, change .container
to
.container-fluid
:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Case</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>My first Bootstrap website!</h1>
