Revolutionarize the way you design a web

Have you ever found adding CSS(Cascading Style Sheets – used for styling) and Javascript to Static webpage troublesome and time-consuming? Ever thought of adding animation , graphics to your webpage, making it more attractive, responsive, interactive, catchy and cool without the need of writing several lines of codes? Are you looking for a framework that styles your application to look first class with minimal effort? Then Materialize is just the best option.

Materialize is a modern front-end responsive framework based on Material Design as stated by its Official site. It is framework, that means all codes, styles, javascript are prewritten in the background of Materialize Framework. It carries default styling for easy use, and has detailed documentation. Just download it from its Official website or use CDN() and import it in your webpage. Then just call the classes in tag Line of HTML tags and your done with coding. Just you need to remember what specific class does and how to include them in your code.

It was built by four guys namely Alvin Wang, Alan Chang, Alex Mark, Kevin Louie from Carnegie Mellon University. They have taken so much efforts and simplified the way of designing a webpage that even a fresher would easily learn the framework and design a big webpage in few days easily.

Materialize is shipped as a CSS + JavaScript framework, though the CSS portions are written in SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets-Extended CSS Version) for better development. It is much similar to front-end Framework like Bootstrap, Foundation, etc. It came into existence in order to bring uniformity to Google’s UI on all platforms including web, and not just Android.

Materialize is primarily a UI/UX (User eXperience ) Framework. It is made to be very responsiveness. It focuses on how user experience elements behave and interact visually. As, it is based on Google’s Material design language, elements are designed around a           3-dimensional space and utilise motion heavily. This means that along with having a width and height, elements have a depth and move in specific ways. For example, in a button you can provide ripple (wave-like feeling) while hovering over it with your mouse. So, Materialize can design more cooler websites, isn’t it?
             
We all must be familiar with Bootstrap as a Front-end Framework. But Bootstrap is based on grid system. But if you want special visual effects, Animation, User interactivity and responsiveness and you want to unify your application with Google’s design, then definitely check out Materialize because Bootstrap doesn’t have them. The look and feel of Materialize is very slick. It’s difficult to deny good design when you see it, especially in regards to the design principles relating to 3 Dimensions and movement, however this largely comes down to it implements a consistent set of guidelines from Google’s Material Design. Also, the Materialize frame is still quite new and not much spread over communities and media.

More Features include: Easy to use, Good documentation, Modern looks, Open source, Code examples, Extremely light - 29kb ,Flexible and Great Support. Materialize has Javascript components like Toasts, Collapsible ,Dropdown ,Parallax , ToolTip , Tab Target , Slides , Carassel ,Modals that are fixed to the bottom of the window. It is compatible with almost all modern mainstream browsers. However in relation to Internet Explorer, it is limited to IE10+, which may be a serious consideration depending on your specific application requirements.


If you're planning to create a new website or add animation and user interactivity, then I recommend to choose Materialize Framework, because there are very few sites which are material designed and your site will stand out of the crowd. Also, if you want use Angularjs, best option is Materialize. You can also use Materialize in designing hybrid mobile apps.
