Gone are the restrictive days! The days when websites were bound to the shackles of a limiting CSS framework. Enter CSS Flexbox and Grid!!! (we’re a little excited)
First things first though… what IS a CSS Flexbox and Grid?
We Believe the easiest way to think of Flexbox is to imagine all of your elements are floating inside of a container, using the Flexbox code you are able to position, scale and order the elements of your website. Making it very fluid and customizable.
The Grid CSS is similar to the Flexbox, but more structured. You are still able to position and order the elements of your website, but within a grid system. Think of how sections appear in a newspaper, this is the same with a Grid CSS, we are able to position elements position elements within customizable rows and columns.
Rethinking Website Layouts
With the CSS Flexbox and Grid now in play, we’re no longer constricted to the old symmetrical layout of websites. This allows a new generation of websites to push the envelope through innovative designs beyond what has ever been possible before. Look for brand personalities being expressed with abstract, a-symmetrical or even chaotic layouts.
