I am a newbie web developer tasked with creating a website for a client in the art industry. I've decided to roll with Mezzanine + Cartridge for the project as it seems like an accessible way to get started. I now have the server up and running with no issues, but obviously can't use the default Mezzanine theme for such a project.
I'm finding that theres a highly limited amount of themes available online for Mezzanine, and that there are a lot more Bootstrap themes available floating around. Is there a way I could use the two together? Ie the UI/front end being a Bootstrap theme while still maintaining the functionality of Mezz/Cartridge?
If so, how would I go about doing this? Not expecting a step by step guide, but any advice/guidance would be highly appreciated. Like I said, I'm incredibly new to this (first website ever!) so if I'm misunderstanding something, please let me know. Thank you for your time.
You'll override the base template as the starting point for customizing the look of everything. In there you'll find the stylesheets for bootstrap used, which you can modify/replace/etc.
