Easy Grid

CSS Grid made easy

A powerful array of features achievable via simple and minimal settings

Yes - you do need another grid / columns stack 😊

Easy grid is based on the incredible CSS grid specification and allows you to create dynamic or fixed grid and column layouts with (as the name suggests) ease!
As we go through the features ask yourself:
Can my existing grid/columns solution can do these things at all (never mind with ease!)?

Examples

Dynamic columns

Out of the box, with a single default setting, Easy Grid enables a fully dynamic, responsve grid.

The amount of columns is dictated by the available width (of the container or browser window) and the minimum width that we allow the columns to be. Resize the browser window to see the number of columns dynamically change!

Fixed grids

If you would rather specify how many columns you want to have at each breakpoint then that can be done too. And again with complete ease.

Here we are showing the default set up for fixed grids: 1 column on small screens, 2 on medium, 3 on large and 4 on extra large.

Control 'block' alignment

If the content of each grid item varies in height then you can specify how you want to handle that. The Easy Grid default is to equalise the height of each item in the row to match the tallest but you can set it to do other things too....

Fill (default)

Control item content alignment

When there is available height in a grid item then you can specify how you want any content within that grid item to be vertically aligned.

Style until your heart is content

Grid items styling can be set up in the parent grid (to automatically apply to all grid items) and can be overridden on an item by item basis.

Set up background colours, images, padding, drop shadows, borders and more!

And a few extra tricks....

There is built-in 1-click support to make your grids a little more interesting!!

First item (2 cols)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Setting up the first item to be a 'feature item' by spanning 2 columns can be a nice option.

First item (2 cols & 2 rows)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Setting up the first item to be a more prominent 'feature item' by spanning 2 columns and 2 rows can be an even nicer option.

Even items (2 cols)

1
2
3
4
5
6

If you set the grid to have 3 columns you get a nice orderly split with columns like this.

Odd items (2 cols)

1
2
3
4
5
6

If you set the grid to have 3 columns you get a nice orderly reverse split with columns like this.

First & Fourth (2 cols)

1
2
3
4

This can be a nice option for a section if 4 grid items are used so that it uses both split column layouts.

Every third (2 cols)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Here every third grid item spans 2 columns. How this behaves can be controlled by how many columns are used.

Every third - with offset (2 cols)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Here every third grid item (starting with the 2nd item) spans 2 columns. When used with 4 columns this gives us a nice wide central column.

Random(ish)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

Here we are setting even items to span 2 columns again - but this time we are using 4 columns to give a more random looking grid!

FAQs

Below are some of the most common questions about this and our other stacks.

Stack FAQs

It depends. Grid Plus Pro is a beast of a stack that allows you to build unlimited layouts at an unlimited amount of breakpoints - and have every grid item do countless things at each of those breakpoints. With that comes a complexity. If you have never quite got to grips with it then Easy Grid is for you.

Yes - you can set Easy Grid up to work with Feeds stack (from Weavers Space). That will let you generate all of the grid items from an external source like a csv file or a database etc.

Yes - you can set up Poster 2 to use Easy Grid as the layout engine. Allowing you to easily take advantage of the bespoke or custom grids to display your blog list items. You can even combine the grid with our Content Filter stack to handle filtering blog post listings using the Poster tags! View a demo and find out more about this integration on our Knowledge Base.

It is not as full-featured as the likes of my Grid Plus Pro stack (that is part of Source) but for 90% of use cases Easy Grid will do what you need - and do it easily! It can't though do things like change the order of where particular grid items appear at different breakpoints - or use things like template areas. But long story short...very few grids would ever need these things.
