CSS Layout is a pure CSS pattern library that provides pre-built layout components for common page structures, implemented entirely with CSS using flexbox and grid. The collection focuses on reusable, encapsulated components that handle overlapping elements, vertical centering, sticky footers, and classic page layouts without requiring any JavaScript for rendering or interactivity.
The library offers a range of practical layout implementations including centered navigation menus, element stacking techniques, holy grail page layouts, and responsive grid systems. Each pattern is built as a self-contained CSS component that can be independently reused and combined to assemble complete page structures, with the ability to customize component appearances to match specific project requirements.
The collection covers core CSS layout capabilities for building responsive web designs, including techniques for overlapping elements through absolute positioning or grid placement, vertical centering using flexbox alignment properties, and creating layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and container widths. The patterns are built on modern CSS foundations, avoiding older float-based approaches in favor of flexbox and grid as the primary positioning mechanisms.
