So far we've kind of ignored design
0:02
for the most part and we're not going to go deeply
0:06
into design in this course.
0:07
It's not a course about CSS and HTML and web design
0:12
but we should cover enough that you understand
0:16
the design tools that are in place as well
0:18
as be able to bring in extra things, like themes and stuff
0:22
that are really easy wins for making
0:24
your site look better in a hurry.
0:27
So let's briefly talk about what
0:28
we'll learn in this chapter.
0:30
We're going to do a quick survey of what are called
0:32
front-end frameworks, or front-end CSS frameworks.
0:35
These include things like Bootstrap and Foundation
0:37
but there's actually many of them.
0:40
Even though the template you start with comes
0:43
with Bootstrap in Pyramid
0:44
you don't have to stick with Pyramid.
0:46
We will for this course, but you don't have to.
0:48
And so you will have a nice sense of what's out there
0:51
and what the trade-offs are
0:53
because we're going to use Bootstrap.
0:55
It really is the most popular one
0:57
and it's what the templates come with.
0:58
We'll go ahead and use that.
1:00
So we'll do a quick introduction to what Bootstrap is.
1:02
A few of the features are super-important to know
1:04
and really helpful, so we'll talk about grid layout
1:07
and a few of the controls like buttons and widgets.
1:10
And then we're going to bring it all together.
1:12
Remember right now, it's just that
1:13
red starter Pyramid project look
1:17
and it's fine for a single page
1:19
that you just want to show off like a picture
1:20
but it's not really a proper web design.
1:23
So we're going to see how to use things like
1:26
layout macro pages and so on to bring it all together.
