It's part of what BS is. The same old rule applies. HTML decides (should decide) your markup (structure), CSS decides your styling/appearance, JavaScript controls how your documents behave when what appears on the screen is acted upon. You provide the HTML. BS provides a very good default styling and an advanced, yet simple framework to control the behavior of components laid out on the screen/device. It takes help of framework like jQuery underneath. So, to say that BS helps with cosmetic aspects of a website is a little misleading. > > I need some help on how you design a Bootstrap website in terms of > physical pages. > > Please let me explain further with an example.

My question is: would a Bootstrap developer > create 10 separate physical pages (each with a Navbar, main body, left bar > and footer) to replicate my existing website pages? or is there a way of > using one physical page which has 10 logical pages inside it? > That depends upon the way the developer looks at the task. Usually developer takes help of an existing "web framework" to do this. Any modern web framework should have support to create a consistent/configurable layout of the website and then have support to fill in the context. These are then called the "dynamic HTML". A more familiar term for this is 'templates'. So, the developer will create a template (or two) for your entire website and take help of the framework in dynamically (on demand basis) filling out the contents of the page requested by the actual user.
