The Ins and Outs of Creating the Finest Website Layout System

We’ve seen many webmasters and designers creating some of the most responsive yet abysmally unappealing web layouts. However, what the world demands right now is to create layouts that are responsive, appealing and yet don’t rely on media queries.

Now, hold the phone! We’ve got nothing against media queries; rather we’re so grateful to them. (Because of these queries, any developer can create sites that are responsive enough; in short, the queries enable developers to create sites whose content is adaptable to different smart devices.) So without these queries, the mobile sites wouldn’t be able to function smoothly at all.

However, what we’re stating here is to develop a system that’s not dependent on queries alone. And if you’re able to create a web layout which is no more relies on queries, you’re, in a way, creating the most flexible layout.

How flexibility in layouts can be achieved?

In the past, there were ample CCS features—one being float—that could’ve given the website’s layout sterling flexibility. These layouts can be easily adapted to different screen sizes without any ado.

Now, there’s a shift (or an update if you will); if we take a look at the most recent implementations of CSS features (viewport-relative units and flexbox), the layout could be highly flexible (something that we could’ve only dreamed of earlier).

It’s all based on your perception, webmaster.

Despite these stellar features, many web developers (which we’ve met or hired in the past) have had their own opinions about the float and other similar elements. Some webmasters are miffed with the chaos that these features create on the webpage. If we quote some of our old webmasters, some of these floating elements were utterly “chaotic”; while some of the bold webmasters (who were unwilling to share similar perceptions) believed these floating elements lend “exquisite white spaces” to the page. Actually, by using these features, you’ll make your own life simpler. For example, these features can easily allow developers to add a new column to a website’s “Article” section.

These floating elements are consistently deployed by skilled webmasters in a variety of enterprise web development projects. So if you’re girding up your loins to start a web development project and you’re apprehensive to use floating and other new developments in CSS to make your website responsive, you should abandon all your worries. So, now, we hope that this post will give you a sort of motivation to deploy any type of floating elements in your present web development project.
