I'm not an expert on CSS frameworks, so please correct me if I am wrong, but can't you customize the designs from Bootstrap into your own? You don't have to use the templates they give you. I know that requires knowing at least some CSS, but in the long run, the title says it all: a framework.

Like I said, I never got into using frameworks because I couldn't wrap my head around them, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Happy coding to you and everyone else. ^^

It is not meant to and it gets very complex to customize bootstrap css, there will be much clashing of styles, overriding issues, etc. Its a nightmare

I would also add you are now required to use !important tags just about everywhere (which is something you should never use in a project done right)
