Bootstrap Theme "Company"

Create a Theme: "Company"

This page will show you how to build a Bootstrap theme from scratch.

We will start with a simple HTML page, and then add more and more components,
until we have a fully functional, personal and responsive website.

The result will look like this, and you are free to modify, save, share, use or do whatever you want with it:

HTML Start Page

We will start with the following HTML page:

Add Bootstrap CDN and Add a Jumbotron

Add Bootstrap CDN and a link to jQuery and put HTML elements inside a
.jumbotron:

Add Background Color and Center Text

1. Add an orange background color to the jumbotron.

2. Add the .text-center class to center the text inside the
jumbotron:

Add Form

Add a form with an input field and a button:

Add Containers

Add two containers (.container-fluid), and add a custom class to the second container (.bg-grey
- adds a gray background color):

Add Padding

Lets make the jumbotron and the containers look good by adding some padding:

Add a Grid

1. Add an icon (or the company's logo) to each container.

2. Separate the icon and the "about text" by creating two columns (.col-sm-8
and .col-sm-4)

3. Add media queries to center the "logo column" on screens smaller than 768
pixels wide.

Add Services Container

Add a new container, with 2x3 columns of equal width (.col-sm-4):

Styling Icons

Add a custom class (.logo-small) to each glyphicon in the "Services" container. Use CSS to style them:

Add Portfolio Container

Create a new full-width container, with three columns of equal width (.col-sm-4):

Inside each column, add an image.

Then, use the .img-thumbnail class to shape the image to a thumbnail.

Normally, you would add the .img-thumbnail class directly to the
<img> element. In this example, we have placed a thumbnail container around the image, so that we can specify an image text as well.

Example

<div class="container-fluid text-center bg-grey">
  <h2>Portfolio</h2>
  <h4>What we have created</h4>
  <div class="row text-center">
    <div class="col-sm-4">
      <div class="thumbnail">
        <img src="paris.jpg" alt="Paris">
        <p><strong>Paris</strong></p>
        <p>Yes, we built Paris</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">
      <div class="thumbnail">
        <img src="newyork.jpg" alt="New York">
        <p><strong>New York</strong></p>
        <p>We built New York</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-4">
      <div class="thumbnail">
        <img src="sanfran.jpg" alt="San Francisco">
        <p><strong>San Francisco</strong></p>
        <p>Yes, San Fran is ours</p>
      </div>
    </div>
</div>

Result:

Portfolio

What we have created

Yes, we built Paris

New York

We built New York

San Francisco

Styling Thumbnail Images

Use CSS to style the images. In our example, we have tried to make them look like cards, by removing their border, and set a 100% width on each image.

Example

.thumbnail {
    padding: 0 0 15px 0;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 0;
}

.thumbnail img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

Result:

Portfolio

What we have created

Paris

Yes, we built Paris

New York

We built New York

San Francisco

Yes, San Fran is ours

Add Google Maps

Add Google Maps (For more information, read our
Google Maps Tutorial):

Add a Navbar

Add a navbar at the top of the page that collapses on smaller screens:

Style The Navbar

Use CSS to customize the navigation bar:

Add Scrollspy

Add scrollspy to automatically update navbar links when scrolling:

Add a Footer

Add an "Up Arrow" icon to the footer, which will take the user to the
top of the page when clicked on:

Adding Smooth Scrolling

Use jQuery to add smooth scrolling (when clicking on the links in the navbar):

Final Touch

Personalize your Theme by adding a font that you like. We have used "Montserrat"
and "Lato" from Google's Font Library.

Link to the font in the
<head> section:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Then you can use them in the page:

We have also added some extra style to some elements:

Slide In Elements

We have also created an animation effect which will slide in elements on
scroll. If you want to use it, just add the .slideanim class to the
element you want to slide in, and add the following to your CSS and jQuery (feel
free to modify the duration, opacity, where to start, when to slide in, and so
on):
