the first alpha release of Bootstrap 4. Hell yeah!
Bootstrap 4 has been a massive undertaking that touches nearly every line of code. We’re stoked to share it with you and hear your feedback. We’ve got a lot of news to share with you, so let’s jump right into it.

What’s new
Bootstrap 4 alpha

There are a ton of major changes to Bootstrap and it’s impossible to cover them all in detail here, so here are some of our favorite highlights:

Moved from Less to Sass. Bootstrap now compiles faster than ever thanks to Libsass, and we join an increasingly large community of Sass developers.
Improved grid system. We’ve added a new grid tier to better target mobile devices and completely overhauled our semantic mixins.

Opt-in flexbox support is here. The future is now—switch a boolean variable and recompile your CSS to take advantage of a flexbox-based grid system and components.
Dropped wells, thumbnails, and panels for cards. Cards are a brand new component to Bootstrap, but they’ll feel super familiar as they do nearly everything wells, thumbnails, and panels did, only better.

Consolidated all our HTML resets into a new module, Reboot. Reboot steps in where Normalize.css stops, giving you more opinionated resets like box-sizing: border-box, margin tweaks, and more all in a single Sass file.

This beautiful new website happily marries the romance of high-end bridal fashion with cutting-edge front-end design.

For any blushing bride, looking divine on her big day isn’t optional. The Sassi Holford site is all about that excitement around finding that perfect wedding dress, and that sense of occasion from perusing a showcase for handmade gowns.

What follows is a heavenly coupling of brochure photography and sumptuous page transitions. Tasteful typography and an editorial sensibility for negative space and stunning oversized images, immediately sets the tone for an immersive, personal experience.

The designers at Bristol agency Green Chameleon, already a Lightbox favourite, clearly worked closely with the client to understand the brand. By first gaining a sense of Sassi Holford’s values, processes and target audience, they could deliver a site that emulated the “flawless” reality of choosing a Sassi dress. “Our aim was to replicate this quality throughout the website, paying close attention to the fine details and delivering a platform that showcases the dresses in as much detail as possible, providing the closest look a bride can get without actually trying the dress on,” explains Green Chameleon’s design director Nathan Riley.

“To achieve this we kept the design of the site minimal, using a crisp white/grey colour scheme and sleek UI elements, letting their photography do the talking. Our focus from a technical standpoint was to really push the front-end development, utilising AJAX page transitions, SVG animations, HTML5 video and a number of subtle interactions site-wide.”

How to use HTML & CSS style tiles to kickstart your design

Style Tiles are a sort of template that allows you to quickly test and preview various colors, fonts, textures, and other aesthetic style-related options for your designs before you create a high-fidelity mockup, but after the wire-frames are made. They’re meant to be presented to clients, stakeholders, or any other interested parties fairly early in the design process. That way, you can get past concerns about the font choice, and questions like “Can we have a ‘flashier’ red?”
Simply put, you should be using them, even if only for yourself. It might seem like a lot of trouble to add yet another step to the design process; but I can tell you from personal experience that it’s worth it. I design in the browser: staring at a blank Photoshop canvas can be daunting; staring at a blank browser window seems to hit that much harder.
The sense of direction provided by creating a Style Tile makes designing the rest of the site so much easier. It’s nothing so complex or constricting as a style guide; thus, it gives both a place to start, and the freedom to adjust things as you go along.
This does bring up a small problem with the original Style Tiles, however. They’re PSDs. Browser-based designers like myself will want browser-based Style Tiles. We want to see how this stuff is going to look in the Web, after all, and on as many devices as possible.

Responsive Web Design

With the surge in popularity of browsing on mobiles and tablets it is becoming essential to create sites that are tailored to the needs of these visitors. Until now the solution has involved creating multiple sites and a good understanding of JavaScript. Web Designer 10 introduces a RWD solution that allows you to create a single file containing variants of your site at different widths, so that you website responds dynamically to the screen size of the viewer, presenting the design most appropriate to their device. And as you’d expect from Web Designer you won’t need to do any coding whatsoever!

Put simply you can create multiple variants - eg desktop, tablet, phone - with shared content (eg text, photos, graphics) but with the ability to freely customize the layout of the variants to suit the target device size. The layout of the variants is entirely in your control, ensuring a quality result for mobiles and tablets. Web Designer export s a single HTML file that can dynamically change from one layout to another depending on the screen size of the viewer.
