The Future of Web Design Part I: Layout

Rachel Andrew Editor in Chief Smashing Magazine

As we head into the final quarter of 2018, let’s take a look at where we are with CSS Grid Layout, and CSS layout in general. In this talk you will learn the key elements of layout. The things you need to know as you plan your projects now and into the next year.

Rachel will take you on a tour of what we have now and what is coming next, with plenty of practical advice and takeaway code examples, so that you can start to use these features in your own work.

  • What are the key things we have learned since Grid landed in browsers in March of 2017?
  • How have websites started to use Grid? How does it fit together with the rest of layout?
  • What new features are landing that we can take advantage of?
