Summary

Last week, Superblocks launched Layouts, a feature that addresses several drawbacks of its previous fixed grid layout system. The new layout modes allow for fluid design, responsive design support, and perfect alignment and spacing across all content. Despite the increased power, the feature remains easy to use for users with no understanding of CSS. Insights from building this project include allowing customers to incrementally adopt features, prototyping in real code for complex UX, and making concepts easier to understand without sacrificing existing functionality.
