Web Layout Guide

Introduction

This guide covers best practices for building clean, maintainable, and responsive layouts using modern CSS techniques.

Grid System

CSS Grid provides a powerful two‑dimensional layout system. Use grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows to define tracks.

container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(200px, 1fr));
  gap: 1rem;
}

Responsive Design

Combine flexbox and grid with media queries to adapt layouts.

@media (max-width: 600px) {
  .sidebar {
    display:none;
  }
}

Accessibility

Ensure focus order, use semantic HTML, and provide sufficient contrast. The dark mode toggle respects prefers‑color‑scheme.
