Layout grid implementation analysis
A well-implemented grid system acts as the invisible foundation of your interface. While users never directly see it, they feel its impact through consistent alignment, smooth content flow, and predictable spacing patterns.
Start with your baseline grid specifications:
- Column structures
- Margins and gutters
- Breakpoint behavior
Then, observe how content actually lives within this framework. Common issues often hide in the details:
- Headers that don't align with your column structure
- Components that break grid rules at specific breakpoints
- Inconsistent spacing between similar elements
- Margins that don't match your defined grid values
Most importantly, analyze whether your grid system is helping or hindering layout flexibility. A good grid should guide design decisions without becoming a constraint that forces awkward compromises.
