Hello Friends, In this Article, we are going to take a look at the TOP 5 CSS Framework of 2017, which is widely used in the web development industry, But first let us take a look at what is a framework?

What is a Web Design Framework?

a framework is a package made up of a structure of files and folders of standardized code (HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc…) which can be used to support the development of websites, web apps. So basically a framework is the foundation of beginning a website or a web app, in which framework allows you to have everything you need to begin. So now let’s begin with the TOP 5 CSS Framework of 2017.

TOP 5 CSS Framework of 2017

1. Twitter Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a responsive framework, it is an open source so many people have built upon it and improved it, it has variety of different templates to get you started, it is full of features which include jQuery plugins and earlier uses SASS which is a CSS Preprocessor, and with Bootstrap 4 and above it uses LESS which is a another most popular CSS Preprocessor, it allowed you to customise what you download by choosing just the components you need for your project and it’s very well documented.
