In 2018, Jen Simmons introduced the concept of Intrinsic Web Design, which is not a strict framework but a collection of ideas showcasing the potential of modern CSS to enhance web art direction and layout design. One key concept is "stages of squishiness," which refers to the flexible sizing of elements that adapts to content and context, optimizing editorial content's art direction on the web. The CSS Intrinsic & Extrinsic Sizing Module Level 3 specification elaborates on intrinsic sizing, allowing elements to adjust based on content rather than fixed dimensions. This approach benefits responsive design by enabling columns to grow and shrink at varied rates, depending on the content and viewport size, enhancing layouts for different types of content. Using tools like Grid and Flexbox, developers can manage space distribution more effectively, ensuring content remains well-presented across varying screen sizes. The article encourages developers to experiment with these CSS techniques, as they offer greater flexibility in design, facilitating more dynamic and context-sensitive web layouts.
