BootstrapMade

Overview

BootstrapMade is a catalog of downloadable Bootstrap themes and website templates, paired with an online builder for editing and exporting projects. It is best suited to people who want a Bootstrap-based starting point, especially freelancers and agencies producing client sites. The choice turns on license: free downloads cover personal projects, while commercial work requires a paid plan.

Key features

The catalog includes free and premium templates, with ecommerce options among them. BootstrapMade describes its free collection as containing more than 179 themes and having passed 9,635,794 downloads. Responsive layouts and compatibility across browsers make the templates a useful foundation for conventional websites, though buyers should expect to work within a Bootstrap-template workflow.

Bootstrap Builder lets users change layouts, sections, text, colors, HTML and CSS, then export the project. It handles multiple pages, supports Google Fonts and system typefaces, and lets users organize and switch among projects. That combination gives template users room to adapt a site beyond surface-level changes; it is a better fit for people comfortable taking an exported project forward than those seeking only a hosted site service.

Each license is for one developer, and templates or builder projects cannot be resold or mass redistributed. Pro and Premium licenses allow personal and commercial projects, including client work for a fee. Free templates can be used on unlimited personal websites or domains, but require a BootstrapMade footer credit and cannot be used for client work. Free users also give up PHP/AJAX forms, Sass/SCSS files and support; Premium includes email support, and the member support center is for paid members.

Pricing

The Free License costs nothing. It permits personal projects on unlimited websites and domains, but the footer credit, no-client-work rule, missing PHP/AJAX forms and Sass/SCSS files, and lack of support make it a test bed or personal-site option rather than a commercial package.

Premium Plan - Annual Access costs $99 a year for 12 months of access, paid once. It includes all pro website and admin templates, Bootstrap Builder, unlimited domains, websites, projects and exports, commercial and client work, PHP/AJAX forms, Sass/SCSS files, and email support. This is the lower-commitment paid choice for a project or work period within a year, but access is limited to those 12 months.

Premium Plan - Lifetime Access costs $99, paid once as a one-time payment. It includes lifetime access to all pro website and admin templates and the same builder, unlimited project and export allowances, commercial rights, forms, Sass/SCSS files and email support. At the same stated price as annual access, it is the stronger fit for ongoing use; the annual option makes sense only when a year of access is enough. Both paid plans remain subject to the one-developer license and ban on resale or mass redistribution.

Platforms

BootstrapMade is a web offering, and its templates are for HTML projects. The builder supports editing and export, rather than replacing the need to work with a site project.

Who it's for

Choose BootstrapMade if you want downloadable Bootstrap templates, need to customize pages and export them, or produce client websites under a commercial license. The Premium plan is aimed particularly at agencies and freelancers managing multiple client projects, and its unlimited project and export allowance suits repeated work. It is less suitable for a solo personal site if the required footer credit or absent support is unwelcome, and it is not the choice for teams that need multiple developer seats under one license.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free license allows unlimited personal domains, making it possible to use the templates across multiple personal sites without a domain cap.
• Pros: Paid plans combine commercial rights, builder access, unlimited projects and exports, and email support, useful for recurring freelance or agency work.
• Cons: Free use excludes client work and requires a footer credit, with no support, PHP/AJAX forms or Sass/SCSS files.
• Cons: Each license covers one developer, and resale or mass redistribution of templates and projects is prohibited.
• Cons: The annual plan lasts 12 months; users wanting ongoing access need the lifetime plan.

Alternatives

For a broader selection of products in this category, browse Website Template Marketplaces. Choose Framer instead if you want a freemium product with a free plan and trial, mobile and desktop platforms as well as web, or a free tier that includes a Framer domain, 1 GB bandwidth, design pages and 10 CMS collections.

Creative Tim Marketplace is an alternative for browsing and downloading free marketplace templates, or for a marketplace with a $29/month Basic Access Pass. Drupal is the better direction for readers seeking free open-source GPL software and willing to handle self-hosting and technical setup. Flowbase may suit users looking for free components and Webflow, Figma or Framer integrations through its Starter plan.

Joomla is another free GPL-licensed CMS download. TemplateFlip is worth considering for a template marketplace with a free, attribution-required personal-use option or a $12 one-time Single plan. Webflow AI is a freemium alternative whose Starter plan includes a Webflow.io domain, limited CMS, two static pages, 1 GB bandwidth and 50 form submissions. Webflow Marketplace is a closer fit for readers seeking free templates that permit both personal and commercial use, or paid templates with single-use licenses.

Verdict

BootstrapMade is a sound choice for Bootstrap-oriented freelancers, agencies and individual developers who want editable templates, exportable projects and clear commercial-use options. Its lifetime plan is especially compelling for continued work at the same stated price as annual access. Look elsewhere if you need multiple developer seats, unrestricted redistribution, or a free license for client projects.
