Still using floats or nested flexboxes to structure your pages?
Meet CSS Grid a powerful layout system that gives you full two-dimensional control over your designs.

With Grid, you can create clean, responsive layouts without the mess of complex nesting or positioning tricks.

🧩 In this guide, you’ll learn:
✅ How display: grid works from scratch
✅ Defining rows and columns with grid-template

Unlike Flexbox, which is one-dimensional, Grid lets you control both rows and columns. It’s ideal for full-page layouts, landing pages, and modern web apps.

Quick Example:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;
  gap: 20px;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This creates a two-column layout with spacing in between — simple and clean.
