Bootstrap 3 is the latest version of the popular front end tool. Because it is new, there isn’t too many bootstrap 3 templates currently available. Rather than waiting for them to be developed, you can build one yourself using a bootstrap 3 theme builder. These builders contain resources and/or templates that make it much easier to work with. If you want to build everything from scratch,try the basic starter kit that has the bare-bone of what you need but still leaves a lot of room to build upon.
In terms of money making, it is also quite profitable now if you can start making some niche bootstrap 3 themes and sell them at marketplaces such as Themeforest. The supply isn’t as huge as the common bootstrap 1 or 2 themes or it is best to get in early.
