What's the best way to customize Bootstrap's grid system for a unique layout?

Asked on Oct 09, 2025

Answer

To customize Bootstrap's grid system for a unique layout, you can use the grid's responsive classes and utilities to create a layout that fits your needs. You can also use custom CSS for further customization. 
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-4 col-lg-3">
                    <!-- Content for the first column -->
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-8 col-lg-9">
                    <!-- Content for the second column -->
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->
Additional Comment:
  • Use the `container` class to wrap your grid and ensure proper alignment and padding.
  • The `row` class is used to create a horizontal group of columns.
  • Use `col-md-*` and `col-lg-*` classes to define column widths for different screen sizes.
  • You can adjust the numbers in `col-md-*` and `col-lg-*` to change the column width distribution.
  • For further customization, you can add your own CSS to override default styles.
