This is very interesting and something I want to build myself. I've been using Umbraco CMS for a while and always wondered if I could go static and create my own grid system. It just seemed like a whole lot of work.

The fact that it took you 2 years to get this far is very scary. Thank you for your work. I will definitely come back to this article.

Thanks! It took two years because I was doing a bunch of other stuff, I should have perhaps mentioned that to be clear! Plus all the trial and error stuff I can now share what I found to be "optimal" solutions to save some time. I'll make a public repo containing my code when I get chance...hopefully in under two years!

You should look into web components. The company I work at uses Umbraco too and we are developing web components for easier and faster development. E.g for the grid you could creat a grid component that uses css grid, which is way more flexible than umbraco grid (which is actually deprecated in umbraco 8)

Could you expand on this? I believe we are using the grid differently.
