CSS Grid changed the game

I just wanted to rant positively for a moment about something that made my day better. I spent some quality time working on a site today, and my word do I love CSS Grid.

It has been over two years since CSS Grid support first showed up in browsers. Firefox was the first to support it and others were quick to follow. It has really changed how quickly you can come up with a layout for a webpage, and I’m loving working with it. I’ve read Rachel Andrew’s book “The New CSS Layout”, checked out her talks on the CSS Grid spec, and gone through a large majority of Jen Simmon’s examples and Layout Land videos. If you are interested in web design, you have to review the material they’ve put out into the world. You’ll definitely appreciate all of the new possibilities that CSS Grid gives you, and you’ll save yourself a lot of time.

Just don’t forget to provide fallbacks. Your site and its contents should be accessible and readable even for those with out-of-date browsers.
