Bootstrap-helper class (centre-block)

I am trying to use bootstrap as my main framework to set up my website, however I am having a bit of difficult time to centre my navigation and make it responsive at the same time. I have used .centre-block as it is suggested my bootstrap but did not work, I also did a research over the net also unvain. it will be great if somebody can help.

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="navbar-header ">
            <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">
                <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>

        </div>


        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">

                <li>
                    <a href="#about">About</a>
                </li>

                </li>
                <li>

Hi Parker. The solution I used when I created a website using Bootstrap was having the container div first and the nav inside it. You could try that and see if I works for your purposes. After all the framework should adapt to your needs and not the other way around, right? Let me know if you decide to give it a shot.

Good luck!
