Built on a mobile-first twelve-column grid system, bundled with an endless list of components, utilities and helpers, and add in the fact that it is easy to customize and extend, it is no wonder that web designers and developers continue to use and love Bootstrap. It truly is the perfect framework for quickly getting started on any type of web project.

To help make life easier for you, we have collected forty of the best free Bootstrap 5 templates for you to use on your next project. We have purposefully omitted all of those starter and barebones templates from this collection, of which there is already a multitude available on the web. Instead, we have focused on highlighting all of those fully-featured, beautifully designed, and of course, free Bootstrap templates that you can use straight away.

All of the responsive templates come packaged with pre-styled ‘ready to use’ components, and many have come bundled with additional extras, like charting libraries, pricing tables, tabs, and much more. All of these templates will save you hours of extra work and are all waiting for you to add your content and creativity.

If you’re new to Bootstrap, the best place to learn how to use the framework is to follow the steps on the official quick start guide, and you’ll be up and running in no time.

Many developers create offline sandboxes for testing, but once you push the updates to your live site, it’s good practice to take the site offline for a brief moment. This is also true with new domains where your site isn’t quite ready to launch, but you want to have something online – a coming soon page – to show potential users, visitors, or buyers.

The best solution is a good and reliable maintenance or a plugin coming soon. Thankfully, WordPress has many of them freely available. We’ve curated the eight best choices here, with each having a different focus and set of resources for site admins to choose from.

Coming soon pages are the first step in that process. You aren’t showing the finished product, but it’s enough to build up a social media following, gauge product interest, or even get users to register for beta testing when ready.

But just because it’s only a temporary landing page, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be thoughtfully designed. The quality of the coming soon page you create can greatly impact the success of your product.

As it’s so important to have a thoughtfully designed coming soon page, we have a collection of some of our favorites. The coming soon pages are all recent examples of pages that we think do a great job of explaining the product and building hype and excitement for those people who would be the service’s target audience.

If you are working on a startup or are looking to create your own prelaunch landing page, we hope this collection gives you plenty of inspiration and ideas.
