A defined grid system helps create consistent and responsive layouts across all devices and screen sizes.
Grids provide the underlying structure for your design. They eliminate guesswork when placing elements, ensuring alignment and balance. A robust grid system is essential for responsive design, allowing content to adapt gracefully from mobile screens to large desktop monitors.
Adjust the grid parameters to see how columns, gutters, and margins interact to create layout structure.
Vertical blocks where content is placed. Common setups are 12 for desktop, 8 for tablet, 4 for mobile.
The empty space between columns. Helps separate content. Typically 16px or 24px.
The space between the content and the edges of the screen. Ensures content doesn't touch the bezel.
Horizontal divisions of the grid. When combined with columns, they create a modular grid.
Spatial units created by the intersection of columns and rows, used for sizing images and components.
Use a 12-column grid for desktop layouts as it's divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6.
Decide if columns should stretch (fluid) or stay fixed width with changing margins.
Align text to the baseline grid for vertical rhythm, and containers to the column grid.
