A CSS framework, also known as a web design framework is a pre-prepared library that is meant to allow for easier, more standards-compliant styling of a webpage using the Cascading Style Sheets language. Just like programming and scripting language libraries, CSS frameworks (usually packaged as external .css sheets inserted into the header) package a number of ready-made options for designing and outlaying a webpage.
What Are The Benefits of Using a CSS Framework?
CSS Framework relieve cross-browser concerns. You can’t undervalue this. We’ve all felt the burn of finding out our sites are borked in some browser or another at a hugely inopportune time. Frameworks are built to bring their magic to all browsers.
CSS Framework helps you build good habits. Like including a print stylesheet in your projects. I always intend to build one, and I often do, but the chances are a lot higher that I do it if I have one there from the get-go.
CSS Framework encourage grid based design. Which is a good thing. Grids don’t mean boring! They just help you achieve better readability, scanability, balance visual weight, flexibity, expandability, and just overall page page cohesiveness.
CSS Framework come with documentation. If you need help getting started, framework generally come with some support files. This can be particularly nice if you are designing a site you will be handing off to a client. You can just let them know what framework you used and refer them to that documentation for support requests.
