    Material Design
    Material Design is a unified system that combines theory, resources, and tools for crafting digital experiences.
    Bootstrap
    Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.
    Animate.css
    It is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness.
    Tailwind CSS

It comes with a menu of predesigned widgets to build your site with, but doesn't impose design decisions that are difficult to undo.
    Material-UI
    Material UI is a library of React UI components that implements Google's Material Design.
