Difference between Bootstrap and WordPress

What is Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is one of the most famous CSS frameworks in web development. It is used to design and create websites with great designs and full responsiveness. Bootstrap is only used in the front-end development, so developers do not require so much HTML and CSS to make the web pages. It is generally supported by all the browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc., and its latest version is Bootstrap-5. It has a container class which is the most important section of the complete code.

Mark Otto and Jacob Thorton at Twitter created the Bootstrap in August 2011.

Bootstrap is compatible with any server-side language like Java, PHP etc., and its responsiveness behavior makes the web pages to use on various devices like mobile, tablet, computer etc. It contains the template for buttons, forms, navigation, icons and other interface components. It is designed upon object-oriented CSS.

It has a lot of classes that can be directly used in the class, and their definitions are already defined in the Bootstrap documentation.

Bootstrap Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
	<!-- BOOTSTRAP code implementation -->
	<link rel="stylesheet" href=
"https://stackpath.Bootstrapcdn.com/Bootstrap/4.3.1/css/Bootstrap.min.css"
		integrity=
"sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T"
		crossorigin="anonymous">
	<title>Bootstrap code and styling through Bootstrap</title>
</head>

<body style="background-color: rgb(32, 122, 122);">
	<div class="card">
		<div class="card-body">
			This section is made using BOOTSTRAP.
		</div>
	</div>
</body>

</html>

What is WordPress?

Difference between WordPress and Bootstrap

Bootstrap was developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton in August 2011, and WordPress was created by Matt Mullenweg in May 2003.
Bootstrap is written in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Less and Sass, whereas WordPress is written in only PHP language.
Bootstrap is free for all the developers and is an open-source framework of CSS. The aim of the Bootstrap is to build the responsive websites. In contrast, WordPress is a free open source Content Management System (CMS) which has the main objective of developing dynamic websites.
Bootstrap can only be used in the front end to create responsive and static websites, whereas WordPress can be used in the front end as well as the back end to create dynamic websites.
To create the websites using Bootstrap, we should have a prior idea of HTML CSS and basic coding, but in the case of WordPress, we should know the basic customization features, drag and drop features only. We need not require any coding to develop websites using WordPress.
There is no pre-existing theme in the Bootstrap, but in WordPress, there are already-designed website themes which can be used directly to create your own website.
Bootstrap does not provide an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) feature, but WordPress is an SEO-friendly tool.
There is a grid system to adjust the web pages of a website in Bootstrap, whereas there is a drag-and-drop system in WordPress to manage the web pages of a website.
Bootstrap takes more time comparatively to create and manage the User Interfaces (UI), whereas we can build websites in just a few hours in WordPress. So, WordPress takes significantly less time to create the web pages.
Bootstrap is most commonly used in creating websites for various organizations, whereas WordPress is generally used for blog websites.
Bootstrap is not dependent on any website because it has its own code written in HTML, CSS and JS, whereas WordPress depends on many UI frameworks like Bootstrap to control its User Interfaces.
Bootstrap creates websites which require an amazing and responsive UI, whereas WordPress is used for those websites which only require less time for development and not much bothering about UI(User Interface).
Bootstrap is used by some of the famous companies like Spotify, Twitter and Lyft, whereas WordPress is used by companies like Stack Exchange, LinkedIn, eBay etc.
