Grid system

Use the grid system to lay out the content on your service’s pages.

The system uses 12 columns to lay out the content in the desktop viewport. The content in the columns is laid out vertically on viewports smaller than the defined responsive breakpoint.

Grid gutter and padding

Gutters are the gaps between column content, created by horizontal padding. The gutter width is 24px. This means that each column must have the following properties, that also define their inner content spacing:

Propery	Value
padding-right	12px
padding-left	12px

Using Grid system with GOVCY CSS

The grid system uses a series of containers, rows, and columns to layout and align content.

Use container classes to contain, pad, and (sometimes) center the content within them. While containers can be nested, most layouts do not require a nested container.

The design system comes with two different container classes:

.govcy-container, which sets to max-width at each responsive breakpoint
.govcy-container-fluid, which is width: 100% at all breakpoints

Use row class to distinguish rows.
Use govcy-col-* classes to distinguish columns. Replace the asterisk (*) on the naming classes convention with a number from 1 to 12 to define how many column widths the element should have.

Example

col
