Responsive Umbraco & Bootstrap site - Whitecapltd.com

Just thought I'd drop a post up here about using my experience using Twitter bootstrap, and Umbraco CMS to put together a website for Whitecap Associates - Yacht brokerage, management and build Whitecapltd.com, the idea being to create a responsive website with CMS, that will expand as and when the company require.

It was more complicated than I thought it would be, but after we at Noko incorporated the Zurb Foundation grid system into bootstrap, it all began to take shape. After realising that the best way to style the pages is to add a additional stylesheet, as a final layer of css levels, to overwrite and update the default values, it turned out ok.

Still have a few items that need a good polish, ie. a current state on the navigation, and a few minor tweaks here and there, overall though I'm pleased with the results.

Just grab the side of your browser and squash it narrow to see the mobile device view. www.whitecapltd.com
