Reuse grid layouts more easily with grid template areas
Blog post from Webflow
Grid template areas offer an innovative method to define and manage layouts within a grid container by creating designated regions or "dropzones" for elements, which can be easily repositioned while maintaining the layout consistency across different instances. This approach enhances layout reuse, as these template areas are embedded within the parent grid class, allowing for the effortless replication of layouts across a site with varied content. It also facilitates layout restructuring, enabling significant design changes with minimal effort by simply adjusting template areas, which automatically updates all instances of the layout. Furthermore, grid template areas support responsive design by allowing easy repositioning for different devices, ensuring a seamless user experience. Additionally, they enable full-page layout creation, where entire page designs can be defined and reused, making it simple to restructure pages by rearranging sections like headers, sidebars, and testimonials in a consistent and efficient manner.
