Layout grid

Why grid elements?

Many users are now only online with tablets or smartphones. To take this change into account, the technology and layout are designed in such a way that the content adapts to the screen size of the end device.


Content can also be arranged side by side on the page using containers. Without a grid, content elements are only arranged one below the other.

Editorial notes

  • Always place important information at the top of the page.
  • New content elements can be created in the grid or existing elements can be moved into the grid using drag and drop.
  • Also name containers and set the type to "hidden" if required - this makes it easier for you to translate the page.
  • Check how the page is displayed in other output devices (web/view).

Important: do not insert a grid into a grid!

Flexible layout

The basis is...

... a flexible 16-page grid. The grid makes it possible to adapt the page to different output sizes. Mobile devices, landscape, portrait format, etc.
