Components

Grid(Usage)

Responsive layouts, automatically aligned.

12-column

The grid system is foundation for most page-level layouts.

  • The grid can contain any number of columns divisable by 12.
  • The gutter between columns defaults to 16px with options for 32px gutter or no gutter.
  • Columns inside the grid can adjust their width at any breakpoint.

Variations

  1. Grids are almost always used with a wrapper, as in Figure 1. Using the Wrap component the grid has a max-width of 946px and is centered.
  2. Without the wrap the grid will run the full width of the viewport, shown in Figure 2.

By default grid columns will stack. The widths of the grid columns can be changed at each breakpoint.

Multi-row wrapping

Columns can also used to create more complicated layouts. Below are three columns that change width and wrap according to values specified for each breakpoint.

  • By default all columns are stacked.
  • Above the “small” breakpoint the first column spans the last two, which are side-by-side.
  • Above the “medium” breakpoint all columns are in one row with the first at 50% width and the remaining columns 25% each.
