How to Build a Responsive WordPress Theme with Bootstrap

wordpressBootstrap
In this tutorial, we will learn how to make our own responsive WordPress theme using Bootstrap.  Bootstrap is a responsive framework for building web sites and applications, and it’s a great starting point for building a responsive WordPress theme.
You don’t have to have built a theme from scratch before to successfully follow along.  However, we do assume that you are comfortable doing things like adding and editing posts in the admin area or installing plugins.
The theme we will build is based on the Basic marketing site example you can find over on the Bootstrap examples page. For this demo we will build out templates for the following pages and functionality:

  • Custom homepage design
  • About page
  • Contact page
  • News section with comments
  • A widgetized sidebar

Getting Started

Before we get started there are a few things you will need to do:

  • Install WordPress
  • Download and Unzip Bootstrap
  • Install the Theme Test Drive plugin*

* You only need this plugin if you will be building the theme using a live site and don’t want people to see the new theme while you are developing it.
