How to build
a brochure site

This page showcases and documents the use of Vanilla framework to build a brochure site.

All the sections of the page should be implemented using one of the grid layouts demonstrated below. By default all content should be inside the containers that use 25% of the full width (3 columns out of 12 column grid on large screens) or multiplication of it.

The grid layout should also be responsive, making sure that relative size is preserved on medium screen as much as possible (for details check the individual documentation of each split). On small screens all columns should take whole width of the page and appear in sequence (as by default Vanilla behaviour).


Layouts

In the sections below we demonstrate how to implement the available layouts using standard Vanilla grid.

50/50 split

Use 50/50 split for standard section with a heading and some content.

The 50/50 split should be preserved on large and medium screen sizes.

25/25/50 split

Use 25/25/50 split on section with 3 columns where 2 columns have less content than the last large column.

On medium screens it becomes 2 rows of 50/50 + 100 split.

To achieve that use row--25-25-50 class name on the row and col on the column.

25/75 split

Use 25/75 split on sections with narrow first column (usually a heading) followed by large content area that isn't split into smaller columns.

On medium screens the 25/75 split is adjusted to be 33/66 (2 columns and 4 columns)

On small screens it becomes 2 rows of 100 + 100 split.

To achieve that use row--25-75 class name on the row and col on the columns.

25/75 split on large

Use the 25/75 split on large screens for sections with a narrow first column (usually a heading), followed by a large content area that can be split into smaller nested grid if needed.

On medium and small screens, columns will be stacked.

To achieve that, use the row--25-75-on-large class name on the row and col on the columns.

(25)/75 offset split

Use (25)/75 split with offset when first column is empty and the rest of the content is to be aligned with other 75% section of the page.

To achieve that use row--25-75 class name and only one col child.

Example

25/25/25/25 split

Use 25/25/25/25 for a section with 4 columns split.

On medium screens it becomes 2 rows of 50/50 + 50/50 split.

To achieve that use row--25-25-25-25 on the row and col class names on all the columns.
