Should I use a Bootstrap visual editor for rapid prototyping?

Hi - I've done my pencil and paper drawings and refined them with basalmiq. I'm now ready to make an interactive prototype. The final website will be a custom wordpress theme using bootstrap. Should I use an editor for rapid prototyping or should I just start coding with bootstrap? Which editor would you recommend?

Thanks, Claire

Whatever saves you time then go for it. Bootstrap is easy enough with emmet the plugin and live reload server. So, it's really up to you.

You can also prototype with codepen on the fly.

Awesome tutorial about live reload below.

It's with node, but you can use it for prototyping it's totally fine.
