>But now they're back for revenge, except from the browser this time, and stuck with a totally overused css framework which in my opinion [when used at stock] completely devalues your design.
Did you look at the examples on the site? None of them look anything like the default bootstrap design. And the section below the example section is "Your Bootstrap site doesn't have to look like Bootstrap!"
Also, you download the resulting code, and the customized CSS is apparently in a separate CSS file that overrides the default bootstrap stuff, not intermixed, so it's easy to further hand-modify as needed.
Only problem is there's no apparent way to test it out and see how it works without providing a credit card. Would love the ability to really see for myself to what degree you can customize bootstrap before signing up for recurring billing, even at just $4.99/mo.
A free tier that gives you the ability to create customized designs and view them in a preview window (similar wrapbootstrap.com), but no way to save them to your account or other conveniences, would be nice.
I agree with you on the paywall. I can't see this tool, other than it promises to help make bootstrap look nicer.
This may be one of the cases where forcing you to pay before you download or save might be the preferred method of payment. That way I can play with my design, and I'm very much inclined to hand over my money now.
Is monthly billing the best option for this or is single payment? Monthly is OK if I'm going to keep coming back to this tool, though single payment up front may be better (e.g. $15-$20 per site, and my design is saved). Who knows how long bootstrap is going to remain popular.
Similar approach, but the designer gives you visual representation of the design settings (font settings, color/gradient selection, css effects, etc). Combined with real-time preview, makes it easy to experiment and to get ideas.
