Bootstrap Chat - HTML&CSS Snippet Tutorial

Welcome to my today's Bootstrap Snippet tutorial.

This snippet is a simple chat UI component that can be used on any HTML page. It is built on top of Bootstrap 4, so you need to have it included in your project.

You can use this snippet with Bootstrap 4 (or 5), as no jQuery was used to make it work. I tried to make the code well-structured and easy to read.

To add a bit more to the UI, I am using Font Awesome icons, but you can easily switch them for icons of your choice.

Bootstrap Chat combines simplicity and function to create an intuitive layout that you can use for your next chat application project.

This snippet provides a clean and responsive user interface with default styling and animations.

The Bootstrap chat snippet consists of three main elements:

• a list of messages,
• a form with input fields and buttons,
• and message history.

These elements are located in one column on the left side of the screen, while the remaining space is reserved for the message content itself (chat bubbles). The threaded conversations are ordered by the most recent ones.

The minimal scroll bars ensure that your chat user interface is distraction-free and focused.

You can easily achieve familiar chat interfaces used by Facebook Messenger, Slack, Telegram, and more.

When to use the chat in Web Design?

Chat widgets can be used in many different ways. Here are some examples:

• Customer Support - Chat offers a direct line of communication between the customer and the company. If the customer has any questions or concerns, they can ask them immediately without waiting for an email response. This makes it easier for both parties involved as there is no middle man (like email) between them.
• User Engagement - If you want people to stay on your website longer, then you should try using chat widgets. They will allow visitors to engage with your brand more easily than if they had to go through several pages just to get some basic information from you. This will make people feel more comfortable about visiting your site again in the future because they will know that someone will be around at all times if they need help or have questions about anything related to your business or product offerings.
