  1. .container: This class creates a responsive, fixed-width container that centers the content within the viewport. A container is necessary to hold rows and columns.

  2. .row: This class is used to create a horizontal block that contains columns. Rows should always be placed inside a container.

  3. Column classes: Columns are defined using a combination of class prefixes and numbers to represent the desired screen size and the number of columns the content should span. There are four class prefixes: col-xs-, col-sm-, col-md-, and col-lg-. The number following the prefix (1-12) represents the number of columns the content should occupy.

Grid System Examples:

  • .col-xs-12: Spans 12 columns (full width) on extra-small screens (phones).

  • .col-md-4: Spans 4 columns (one-third width) on medium screens (desktops).

    Image Added
  • .col-lg-3: Spans 3 columns (one-fourth width) on large screens (larger desktops).

  • These classes can be combined to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.

In the code snippet example below, using the class “class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-3“, the content will span the entire width on extra-small screens, half the width on small screens, one-third of the width on medium screens, and one-fourth of the width on large screens.

Info

Copy and paste code snippets into the source code editor in Cascade CMS to build and customize the desired column layout for your pages.

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-3">

  <!-- Content goes here -->

</div>

...

To create a two-column row, we will use the "col-sm-6" class, which divides the row into two equal-width columns. The content will span half the width on small screens (tablets) and retain this layout on medium and large screens.

Code Snippet Example:

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="container">
   <div class="row">
     <div class="col-sm-6">

      <strong>One of two columns</strong>

      <p>Content goes here.</p>
     </div>

    <div class="col-sm-6">
       <strong>Two of two columns</strong>
       <p>Content goes here.</p>
     </div>
   </div>

</div>

Creating a Three-Column Row

To create a three-column row, we will use the "col-sm-4" class, which divides the row into three equal-width columns. The content will span one-third of the width on small screens (tablets) and retain this layout on medium and large screens.

Code Snippet Example:

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-4">
      <strong>One of three columns</strong>
      <p>Content goes here.</p>
  </div>

  <div class="col-sm-4">
    <strong>Two of three columns</strong>
    <p>Content goes here.</p>
  </div>

  <div class="col-sm-4">
    <strong>Three of three columns</strong>
    <p>Content goes here.</p>
    </div>
  </div>

</div>

...

Creating a Four-Column Row

To create a four-column row, we will use the "col-sm-3" class, which divides the row into four equal-width columns. The content will span one-fourth of the width on small screens (tablets) and retain this layout on medium and large screens.

Code Snippet Example:

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3">
      <strong>One of four columns</strong>
      <p>Content goes here.</p>
    </div>

    <div class="col-sm-3">
      <strong>Two of four columns</strong>
      <p>Content goes here.</p>
    </div>

    <div class="col-sm-3">
      <strong>Three of four columns</strong>
      <p>Content goes here.</p>
    </div>
    
    <div class="col-sm-3">
      <strong>Four of four columns</strong>
      <p>Content goes here.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
