Furthermore, Twiter Bootstrap offers a basic CSS file, common for all developers. You can use common elements of the user interface such as buttons, designs, alert messages, modal boxes, drop down menus, tooltips, icons, tables, form elements and possibilities in the framework otrs Bootstrap.
Excellent user experience
The Joomla 3.0 Verion could define it as the user-friendly experience (UX), since it is based on a process based on a Bootstrap . That means developers can build templates and extensions products based on the same set of standards labeled (labels) or marked consistent. You know, controlling your website would be much easier when all extensions look and function in a unified way. So you do not have to get to be familiar with a new interface for each extension.
Mobile Adaptive Design
You might know the "adaptability" ( Responsive Design ) feature some Joomla templates. Now, also included in Joomla 3.0. With adaptive design , can control your Joomla site for mobile devices easily. An adaptive site will change the screen size that occurs in any browser or device.Moreover, since it is adaptive, is presented in the mobile, not only for the user, but also for the administrator (back-end). This helps users to use the administrator easily from any device. For example, all the lists are on a page that makes the process easier to control.

It really works great, both in the administration of the site, such as the user interface. We tested it with a smartphone and a tablet with Android, and a laptop and a PC with different browsers and operating systems and have found no faults and is very quick loading, especially in the smartphone, which is appreciated.
