Bootstrap - Grid Demo

What is a Grid?

In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal) pnes used to structure the content. It is widely used to design layout and content structure in print design. In web design, it is a very effective method to create a consistent layout rapidly and effectively using HTML and CSS.

Working of Bootstrap Grid System

Grid systems are used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and columns that house your content. Here s how the Bootstrap grid system works −

Rows must be placed within a .container class for proper apgnment and padding.

Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.

Content should be placed within the columns, and only columns may be the immediate children of rows.

Predefined grid classes pke .row and .col-xs-4 are available for quickly making grid layouts. LESS mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts.

Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That padding is offset in rows for the first and the last column via negative margin on .rows.

Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three .col-xs-4.
