The Beauty of Semantic UI

What is Semantic UI?

Semantic UI is a modern front-end development framework. Many developers use this framework to simplify the agonizing web design/formatting process that comes with using raw HTML and CSS. Semantic UI also utilizes human words or phrases to simplify things. Phrases such as “ui grid”, or “four wide column” are commonly used. This human-like HTML design makes it much easier for the user to understand and creates an intuitive environment for less experienced developers. Semantic UI’s ability to provide a wide variety of classes, icons, symbols, functions and many other things also allows the user to be flexible and design their web applications as they see fit. Due to this, it's no surprise that Semantic UI is so popular among developers.

Personal Experience

My experience with Semantic UI so far has been rather pleasant. This is mainly because I've been able to recreate the design of professional websites in no time. However, practice makes perfect and I’m sure in the years to come when my knowledge of Semantic UI is not limited to a week’s worth of lecture and online material, my abilities will improve dramatically. If I have learned anything so far, it would be to seriously take the time to master a front-end development framework as It will make my life a lot easier in the future. At this time, I plan on sticking with Semantic UI, but I will also try out other frameworks such as bootstrap since it never hurts to broaden your horizons.
