A web developer working on the front-end is generally concerned about time, efficiency, and compatibility issues in their mission to generate a website or a web application offering great user experience and efficiency. The emergence of CSS (Cascading StyleSheets) frameworks has been a boon to web developers in designing and targeting varied screen sizes in the process of building responsive website designs. They enhance the consistency of the design while offering a broad spectrum of formatting options.

The following are some of the Top CSS frameworks curated to assist you in finding a suitable framework in accordance with your specific needs.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap, the open-ended CSS framework built and backed by Twitter, is the most preferred choice among front-end web developers. Using these, developers can create large-scale responsive designs, that can work optimally across all browsers with screens of varying resolutions and sizes. Using this one can avail access to its wide range of built-in website templates, themes, layouts, UI components, admin panels, etc. It is the only one that supports both LESS and SASS. This was the first one to advocate for mobile-first, as the design would automatically adjust for various screen sizes. Bootstrap is one of the easiest and quickest way to prototype a solution and study its feasibility.

Foundation

Foundation is one of the widely used CSS Frameworks offering options that increase flexibility and also provide more options for customization and personalization. With a sophisticated interface, a responsive image system, a pricing table component, responsive embeds, and right-to-left support, it offers a responsive menu and is highly compatible across various browsers, devices, and screens. Using this you can design a website with unique features and grid designs that offer a platform of increased customization.

Bulma

Used by more than 2,00,000 developers across the world, Bulma has gained popularity in a very short time frame. It has no Javascript components and relies only on a stern, pure CSS framework, which is the main challenge that most developers endure while using Bootstrap. With readable CSS class names and readable components, It solves most of the problems that small teams and individual developers face. It has a low learning curve and developers can master it in no matter of time.

Semantic UI

With a wide range of themes and customization options, Semantic UI uses a human-friendly HTML to building websites with responsive layouts. You can code using a natural language and is very easy to use. It has a wide variety of themes, layouts, and has readable class names that enhance the speed of the development. Since this doesn’t provide regular updates and doesn’t support some browsers, it is not an ideal choice if you’re looking for a framework that has higher browser compatibility.

UI Kit

With minimality in design through powerful features, it is useful in creating a simple yet elegant web interface using its broad range of components, styles, themes, and options for customization. Using its simple and clean code, you can arrive at a clean architecture; and is customizable with a wide variety of ready-to-use themes. It’s an independent system, and so it may require an extra effort for modification or extension.
