Bulma is a CSS library. This means it provides CSS classes to help you style your HTML code.

To use Bulma, you can either:

use one of the pre-compiled .css files
or install the .scss files so you can customize Bulma to your needs

{% include docs/elements/anchor.html name="Code requirements" %}

For Bulma to work correctly, you need to make your webpage responsive.

Use the HTML5 doctype

{% highlight html %} {% endhighlight %}

Add the responsive viewport meta tag

{% highlight html -%} {% endhighlight %}

{% include docs/elements/anchor.html name="Starter template" %}

If you want to get started right away, you can use this HTML starter template. Just copy/paste this code in a file and save it on your computer.

{% highlight html -%} {%- include docs/snippets/getting-started.html -%} {%- endhighlight %}
