Responsive grids that stay consistent

A responsive grid should feel invisible—content flows without forcing users to notice the layout. Start with a base column count (12 is common) and scale down with predictable breakpoints.

Grid fundamentals

• Keep column gutters consistent; swap to larger gutters on wide screens to avoid crowded text.
• Set max-content widths so lines don’t stretch endlessly on desktops.
• Use fractional columns (e.g., 3/12, 6/12) so components snap cleanly when stacking.

Breakpoints that matter

• Mobile: collapse to a single column; protect headline hierarchy and CTA spacing.
• Tablet: two columns for cards and split layouts; reduce hero text size slightly.
• Desktop: three or four columns max—too many columns dilute focus.

Quick checks

• Do cards align on the same baseline after wrapping?
• Are CTAs still prominent when the layout stacks?
• Are images using consistent ratios to prevent layout jumps?
