CSS Grid Layouts
CSS Grid Layout allows the creation of full page layouts, where headers, sidebars, main content, and footers can easily be combined. With grid-template-areas, layouts are clear and flexible.
Page layout with Grid
In the following example, we create a three-part layout: header, sidebar, main content, and footer. With grid-template-areas, we can easily define the logic of the layout.
In this example, the header and footer span the full width, while the sidebar and main content split into two columns. This is a classic page layout pattern.
More layout examples
Grid is extremely flexible, and we can create various types of layouts, such as blog structures, admin dashboards, or media galleries.
Blog Layout
In a blog layout, categories and links can be placed in a sidebar next to the main content and articles.
Dashboard Layout
In a dashboard layout, charts, statistics, and cards can be placed, all cleanly structured using Grid.
