Build CSS grid layouts visually — in Webflow

CSS grid is a new layout system that offers enhanced control over both horizontal and vertical aspects of web design, providing a more intuitive and efficient way to build complex, responsive layouts compared to flexbox, which controls only one dimension. While it borrows elements from CSS grid, Webflow introduces a unique on-canvas control system that distinguishes it from other layout options, facilitating faster and easier design processes without compromising code quality. CSS grid does not replace flexbox; rather, it complements it by allowing designers to establish positioning rules along two dimensions, which simplifies the creation of intricate layouts without excessive nesting of elements. This two-dimensional capability also enables seamless redesigns across different breakpoints by allowing layout changes without altering the underlying markup.
