Page Layout

Body,header, and top navigation menu

body
    header
        nav
            div class="logo"
            div class="extra-elements"
            ul  class="nav-links (lines)
            div class="menu-icon"

Note, in the header, the div and nav links can appear in any order you want. They render left to right.

• Logo: The img tag here is controlled by the css variables for sizing
• Extra Elements: Place anything you want here. The example is a contact us button for a CTA
• Menu Icon defaults to a css generated hamburger menu. You can use anything in this container.

The site container

This comes in 3 sizes specified via class name. This is part of the name, not an additional class.

• sm: Small - max width of 75 rem
• md: Medium - max width of 95 rem
• lg: Large - no max width

body
    div class="site-container-(size)"

Inside the site-container div is placed a series of sections.

body
    div class="site-container-(size)"
    section
    section
    section

Sections can be defined using <section> tags or any other block element with a class <div class="section">. In the documentation we will show only the class name, but our recommendation is to use the <section> tag.

Section padding sizing.

• Small-Space Section Style
  • .space-sm:
    • Applies a padding of .75rem .75rem (which translates to 12px for all sides).
• Medium-Space Section Style default
  • .space-md or omit
    • Applies a padding of 2rem 1rem (which translates to 32px top and bottom, and 16px left and right).
• Large-Space Section Style
  • .space-lg:
    • Applies a padding of 3.75rem 1.25rem (which translates to 60px top and bottom, and 20px left and right).

Section Layout for centering.

• Centered Text Section Styles
  • .center:
    • Applies center alignment to the text within the section.

Top and Bottom Padding for Section Children

• .tp - Adds a padding-top of .625rem (which translates to 10px).
• .bp - Adds a padding-bottom of .625rem (which translates to 10px).

Grid System

Use .row and .row-[number] classes to create responsive grid layouts. These can be nested to create whatever you need - the demo page shows this nesting.

<h2>3 columns (the default) on large / 1 column on small (three divs are stacked on small)</h2>
<div class="row">
    <div>
        <p>Some Text</p>
    </div>
    <div>
        <p>Second Text</p>
    </div>
    <div>
        <p>Third Text</p>
    </div>
</div>

• .row: Default to three equal-width columns.
• .row-1 to .row-12: Define columns ranging from one to twelve.

Light/Dark Mode

The framework uses CSS variables to define light and dark color schemes:

• Light Mode:
  • Background: #f0f0f0
  • Text: #333
• Dark Mode:
  • Background: #333
  • Text: #eee

The brand color remains the same across both modes.

Navigation

• The header contains a logo, navigation links, and a call-to-action button.
• On smaller screens, the navigation links are hidden and replaced with a hamburger menu. Clicking the menu icon toggles the dropdown menu.

Customization

You can easily adjust the framework to fit your brand’s color scheme by modifying the CSS variables defined in the :root.

Usage

1. Include the CSS: Add the framework’s CSS file to your project.
2. Include the scripts.js Add the tiny bit of JS to your project or page for dropdown nav.
3. Set Up HTML Structure: Use the predefined classes for grid and navigation.
4. Customize Colors: Adjust the CSS variables in the :root to fit your brand.
