Choosing a CSS framework

Bootstrap, Bulma, Foundation, UIkit, Pure, and Vanilla provide different combinations of layouts and ready-made interface styles. Tailwind CSS takes a utility-first approach: you compose a design with small classes rather than starting from a preset component look.

For a quick prototype, ready-made components may save time. For a distinct visual system, consider how easily you can customize a framework without fighting its defaults. Also check the documentation, accessibility of the components you plan to use, and the CSS your finished page actually loads.
