Enhance the CSS framework ¶

A CSS framework typically consists of three parts: a reset style sheet that resets proprietary margins and formatting, a layout style sheet that divides a page into several layout sections and a grid style sheet that adds a grid system to align elements. The Contao CSS framework already includes a full implementation of the layout part, configurable in the layouts module in the back end.

Unless you prefer to use your own CSS code or a third-party framework, you can download the two other parts below and complement the Contao CSS framework. The style sheets have been thoroughly tested and are fully compatible with Contao. Also they are much smaller than most of the implementations out there. The pixel grid system is based on a total width of 960 pixels.

Read the slides of the CSS framework workshop for more information about the Contao CSS framework.
