So what's the alternative? All of the suggested alternatives mentioned in this article seemed like they were even more low-level and less functional than Bootstrap.

If I'm primarily a coder who doesn't really understand CSS and doesn't have time to become a front-end designer, what should I be using? Ideally I want something that will look pretty enough for end users, and have customizable themes that they can play with--without involving me.

Is there a better out-of-the-box solution than Bootstrap?




Unfortunately, if what you want is an out-of-the-box solution, then alternatives to Bootstrap are either likely to be as complicated as it, or require you to know how to write a bit of css.

Although there are lightweight grid solutions such as skeleton[0] which I personally really like, which make layout easy, you would still probably need to override some of the presentation styles.
