Step 1: Creating Empty Template

Step 1.1: Create a new html file in your favorite html editor.

Step 1.2: Add css files and javascripts into your html file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <title>Grid Template for Bootstrap</title>

    <!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
    <link href="dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
	<link href="dist/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    </head>

  <body>

  <script src="js/vendor/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> 	
  </body>
</html>
Step 2: Creating Layout

In this step, we are going to design the basic layout of our template. Basically we are just going to decide what to use in our template and make a layout of it using grids and bootstrap elements.

I assume now you have a clear understanding of how to use Bootstrap grids. The elements I decided to include in this template are,

  1. Navbar
  2. Carousel
  3. Search From and Call Button
  4. Thumbnails and its Description
  5. Footer

After completing the layout design, our template will now look like this,
