Fluidesign

A design system that scales content proportionally to any screen size. That means no more breakpoints, no more hacking code, and no more confusion from design to development. Fluidesign is design generated, development automated, and carefully perfected to make use of the most universal design concepts and CSS technology. And, it's IE11 compatible. :smirk:

Fluidesign uses a 12 column grid system with flexboxes and fluid typography to create a fully responsive fluid framework built entirely with the power of Sass. No Javascript involved!

Still in early testing. Contact me if you have questions or comments! Let's change the way we design and develop applications for the better.

First, build a row using the .row class as a wrapper. Then add the number of columns based on how many columns you want in your 12 column grid.

Requirements

Fluidesign was built using the style preprocessor Sass and requires Sass to work properly.

Typography

To Use:

Add this code snippet to your sass file when declaring a font size. Replace minFontSize with your minimum font size (mobile) and maxFontSize with your maximum font size (desktop). Fluidesign will do the rest to determine what size your font should be for any screen size.

@include fluid-type(minFontSize, maxFontSize)
