Bootstrap Studio review

Bootstrap Studio is a desktop app from Zine EOOD that builds pages on the Bootstrap framework, with Bootstrap 3, 4 and 5 supported. The vendor states that it works fully offline and saves each project as a bsdesign file on your computer, which is exactly what someone building locally needs. Pages are assembled by dragging components such as headers, galleries and slideshows, and a VS Code-style editor handles SASS, JavaScript, JSON and HTML when you want to write code. When the site is ready, you export static HTML with local assets or publish over SFTP to any server. The Standard license costs $29 once, installs on all your computers and includes a year of upgrades plus a year of free hosting and Smart Forms. Lifetime costs $59 and adds upgrades forever and ecommerce components. The main limits are that Standard upgrades stop after a year and there is no free tier to try beyond the refund window.
