CSS layout has evolved dramatically. Understanding Grid and Flexbox is essential for creating responsive, maintainable layouts.
Flexbox: One-Dimensional Layouts
Flexbox excels at distributing space along a single axis. Use it for navigation bars, card layouts, and centering content.
CSS Grid: Two-Dimensional Layouts
Grid shines when you need control over both rows and columns. Perfect for page layouts, galleries, and complex component structures.
"The key is knowing when to use each. Flexbox for components, Grid for page layouts—but don't be afraid to combine them."
