Some Examples of Layout Patterns


Mostly Fluid

The Mostly Fluid layout provides a dynamic grid with ample margins, smoothly adapting to the screen's width. It allows a continuous response to size changes, ensuring a visually pleasing experience across various devices and resolutions.

Collumn Drop

This layout involves multiple columns that stack as the screen width decreases, condensing into a single column on devices with limited space. On desktop, it expands to occupy the full width of the available column.

Layout Shifter

The Layout Shifter adjusts in distinct ways on large, medium, and small screens. It is more complex to implement due to the need for a specific design for each screen size, ensuring a consistent and optimized experience across various resolutions.

Off Canvas

The Off-Canvas Layout consists of columns that hide certain sections as the device width decreases, allowing the user to efficiently switch between these diverse sections.

Tiny Tweaks

The Tiny Tweaks layout is one of the simplest, making small adjustments to content and confining itself to a few elements in a single column. Its simplicity promotes a minimalist experience, ideal for emphasizing crucial information in a direct and effective manner.
