Columns 1–6 · 6 columns

Half-width panel

Six of twelve columns create a balanced half-width layout.

One-third

A four-column content box.

The rules

How this grid works

  • Maximum width: the container stops growing at 1440px.
  • Fluid width: the container uses a percentage width below that maximum.
  • Fixed arrangement: all content remains in the same 12-column layout at every size.
