That's awesome and I'm a big fan of Bootstrap and use it for nearly every new project. However I think 'powered' is taking things a bit far. Maybe 'styling' 1%

That's awesome and I'm a big fan of Bootstrap and use it for nearly every new project.
However I think 'powered' is taking things a bit far. Maybe 'styling' 1% of the web or 'powering the front-end' of 1% of the web. Wordpress uses the term 'powered' and that's fine because they actually do power a huge number of sites. That doesn't apply to most large sites running Bootstrap. Take Coinbase for example. They're still basically just running stock Bootstrap - but the site is 'powered' by a beefy custom backend.
- adamseabrook 13y agoI did have "styled by" as the original headline. Bounced it off a few people who were not that sure what I meant so changed it to "powered by".
- AndyKelley 13y agoSo you checked the headline with a few people who are not in your target audience?
- tobylane 13y agoYou check understanding with the low domain-intelligence end of your target audience. That could cause confusion whether someone is the target or not.
- skyebook 13y agoJust don't mention that you're choosing them based on their lesser intelligence.
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoLow domain-intelligence - probably bet put as low domain-knowledge - in other words does this make sense to people who don't know the jargon and fashions of web developers.
