Bootstrap Builder supports edits to layouts, sections, text, colors, HTML, and CSS; projects can span multiple pages, use Google Fonts or system typefaces, and be organized or switched between. The Free License costs nothing and permits personal projects on unlimited websites or domains, but requires footer credit and excludes client work. Premium Plan - Annual Access costs $99 a year as a one-time payment for 12 months of access. Premium Plan - Lifetime Access costs $99, paid once as a one-time payment. Both premium plans include pro templates, the builder, unlimited domains, websites, projects, and exports, commercial and client work, PHP/AJAX forms, Sass/SCSS files, and email support. Each license is for one developer; templates and builder projects cannot be resold or mass redistributed.
