**Bootstrap** is a free but powerful front-end HTML, CSS and JavaScript CSS framework. This open-source toolkit contains dedicated code to support the front-end web development process. It is hosted and available for public use on GitHub.

The framework was initially created by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton to help maintain consistency across Twitter's internal tools. During the development process, Bootstrap gradually became huge and revolutionary for the web development industry. Once it went public in 2011, the rest is pretty much history.

Reasons it is widely used in an organization :

1. Time-saving

2. Easy to Use

3. Responsive Grid System

4. Customizable

5. Cross-browser Compatible

6. Maintain Consistency

7. Open Source

8. Community-centered

Bootstrap is a powerful front-end framework that has revolutionized the web development industry. Not only that, Bootstrap also accelerates the design process by providing pre-built design themes and templates that are customizable and easy to use.

As an open-source framework, you can use and modify it without spending a dime. Feel free to try it yourself and see if Bootstrap can improve your work efficiency.
