UX rework of Bootstrap-based codebases

Is your codebase based on Bootstrap, but you don’t have time to refactor your whole UI?

Use our method to get to improvements without losing time on a big UI refactor.

Many consultants will tell you need to rewrite your UI code.

They will point to new and shiny frameworks, but this is not always the best choice.

“Swap the engine while it’s running” is a recipe for disaster.

We have extensive experience with improving Bootstrap-based codebases.

Having worked with Bootstrap since Bootstrap 2, we really know the details behind Bootstrap.

We know how Bootstrap-based codebases typically evolve and which problems occur.

Using a method where we update things bit-by-bit, we clear the path to UI and UX upgrades.

• Don't load the parts of Bootstrap that you don't use or need
• Tag the parts of Bootstrap that are customized and make it clear which part is customized versus the initial code
• Add namespaced extensions to Bootstrap to clarify which code is custom
• Document the different UI elements, with a clear visualisation of every component and its variants
• Document the rules around Bootstrap and stick to them as a team
