What is a CSS Framework?

A CSS framework is a complete library that helps you create faster and more coherent. Besides this, it gives you a base system and ships with a set of UI components you can customize and include in your project.

Why Do We Need a CSS Framework?

The main goal of every type of framework is speed; you don’t have to start every project from scratch. If you have an excellent tool that can manage your expectations, you can create in a more manageable way in the long run:

• you will be familiar with the tool,
• you will always know what to find, where and how to implement something,
• you will get updates and community support.

What Does a CSS Framework Do?

• It uses normalize.css and/or a CSS reset to achieve better cross-browser compatibility.
• It gives you a basic typography system: the ability to setting up the different sizes (preferably with a ratio) and an option for managing fluid sizes.
• It gives you the option to color modes, like dark mode.
• It gives styling for essential form elements.
• It gives you access to a set of extended UI components.

What Types of CSS Frameworks Exist?

There are many types of CSS frameworks that solve similar problems differently, just to mention a few categories: utility-first, component-based, and classless.

Choosing one always depends on your needs and context.
