About this course

 Using Advanced Grids to achieve complex layouts is an incredibly powerful skill to have at your disposal. 

Designs with unique layouts that might have taken hours to code to display properly across devices are now able to be built with just a few clicks. We'll show you how!

Join us as we use an Advanced Grid to update the 'About' section in the carpentry site that we've been building together.

At the end of this course, you'll be able to:

  • understand how widgets behave when placed inside an advanced grid
  • describe the differences between advanced grids vs. inner columns
  • identify when to use advanced grids
  • overlap elements in your designs 
  • practice manipulating elements within an advanced grid to match a mockup
