Creating bootstrap like pages in a theme

  • I am aiming to design a WP site that has a similar responsive/scrolling feel to it much like this demo here. Only problem I am not sure about is how to create pages like the main page in terms of having sections like a sort of bootsrap feel. Even wordpress.com has a nice feel to it.

    How when I add a page would I design it like those. Having a container for each section of information? Can I design pages from HTML. Or just via the Add Page menu item?

    I was hoping to design a similar looking page in a free theme just as a demo for a friend before we decide on wordpress or going along the paths of bootstrap and pure code without a cms.

  • There are many free themes built with Bootstrap. It really depends on whether you need WordPress or not.

    I have created my own Bootstrap 3.3.1 theme from scratch that I use as a base theme for all my sites.

    For the scrolling panels I use the plugin Pagely Multiedit: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/pagely-multiedit/

    It allows you to create multiple editable panels in a page template by adding a little code to the themes template file.

    Just use the tags <div class=”container-fluid”><div class=”row”></div></div>

    To wrap each multiedit panel in your code after the loop.

    You can use this Bootstrap example page as a base for your coding.

    There are a bunch of Bootstrap 3 starter themes here: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/search.php?q=Bootstrap

    Or you can build your own from scratch by Googling how to…

    No adding the parallax effect is another conversation, but there are free themes with parallax included as well.

    If you need any help with any of this let me know.

    I’ve used bootstrap plenty. The main reason for wanting WordPress is so people who are less familiar with code can edit content and change text images on pages.
