5 starter friendly CSS libraries

Recently I had a project alongside my teammates where we ran into some issues and were able to finish it within the 2 last days of the 5 we had.

For a moment we thought we wouldn't have enough time to implement any decent CSS and so we would have been left with a page that looked like it came from the early 2000s.

Fortunately, with a little google fuu we came upon some wonderful libraries that were quick and easy to implement within our code.

Here are some example libraries that while we did not implement all of them, were amongst our choices.

Bulma CSS

One of Bulma's greatest features is its simple readable classes. The system for creating tiles is quick to be implemented and the code its self takes little time to understand.

Pure.CSS

Pure has small responsive CSS modules for whatever you could need. Layout and styling for your HTML elements are available. Its style is also minimal and has a very clean design. It is another perfect option for beginners.

Animate.CSS

This is one of my favorites. It's simple and fast to incorporate within your HTML (or Javascript).

If you desire quick flashy fun on your webpage, Animate.CSS is perfect. Just remember to not overdo it(even though it may be fun).

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind has customizable building blocks. You won't have to worry about fighting set styles to override them. Instead of having predefined components, it gives you CSS helper classes to work. These classes allow you to create custom designs and in the end, you will have a much more personally designed website.

Semantic UI

Semantic UI uses five descriptive categories for their re-usable UI components.

They are :

• UI Element
• UI Collection
• UI View
• UI Module
• UI Behavior

Almost every component has types, states and variations. A button can vary in size and color and can be formatted as a basic, social, fluid, toggle, and more. This gives you a great amount of flexibility in a component’s appearance.
