Hi Zaid I have used Bootstrap in many projects in my previous jobs.
Bootstrap is intuitive and powerful front-end framework which will help you to speed your development.
Instead of wasting time on the UI, you'll be able to have more time on your backend development.
There are many templates which are built on Twitter Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) .

Bootstrap means to load a small program that eventually calls the desired program into the computer, similar to an operating system being called by a BIOS program.
The word bootstrap also has different meaning in different fields like science, medical, etc.
With regards to computer technology, “bootstrap PHP code” means creating a bootstrapper that handles all the dynamic requests coming to a server and apply the true MVC (Model View Component) framework so that in future you can change the functionality for each unique component or application without changing the entire code or application
