Grid System is a layout structure used in UI/UX and web design to organize content into rows and columns. It helps create consistent, balanced, and visually aligned interfaces across different screen sizes.
In design and frontend development, grid systems provide a framework for placing elements such as text, images, and buttons in a structured way. This improves readability, responsiveness, and overall user experience.
For example:
- A website homepage uses a 12-column grid to align sections and content blocks.
- An e-commerce product page arranges items in rows and columns for better browsing.
- A news website uses grids to structure headlines, images, and articles consistently.
- A mobile app layout adapts its grid to fit different screen sizes.
