Looking to quickly add Bootstrap to your project? Use the Bootstrap CDN, provided for free by the folks at MaxCDN. Using a package manager or need to download the source files? [Head to the downloads page.]({{ site.baseurl }}/getting-started/download)
Copy-paste the stylesheet `<link>` into your `<head>` before all other stylesheets to load our CSS.
{% highlight html %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.cdn.css }}">
{% endhighlight %}
Add our JavaScript plugins and jQuery near the end of your pages, right before the closing `</body>` tag. Be sure to place jQuery first as our code depends on it.
{% highlight html %}
<script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
<script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
{% endhighlight %}
And that's it—you're your way to a fully Bootstrapped site. If you're at all unsure about the general page structure, keep reading for an example page template.
## Page template
Be sure to have your pages set up with the latest design and development standards. That means:
* Using an HTML5 doctype
* Forcing Internet Explorer to use its latest rendering mode ([read more]())
* And, utilizing the viewport meta tag.
Put it all together and your pages should look like this:
{% highlight html %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge">
<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.cdn.css }}">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<!-- jQuery first, then Bootstrap JS. -->
<script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
<script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
</body>
</html>
{% endhighlight %}
That's all you need for overall page requirements. Visit the [Layout docs]({{ site.baseurl }}/layout/scaffolding) to start laying out your site's content before adding components.
