    Sass makes CSS fun!

    Using CSS grid to generate layouts in a design provides developers with value, and makes things a lot easier for developers, but there are still some problems or downsides of using the CSS grid systems. The main reason designers and web developers use CSS grid systems is to make the generation of layouts easier and faster. But the question is “can the generation of layouts be made easier and faster, and still overcome these problems?”. Fortunately for us, the answer is “Yes!’, all thanks to CSS preprocessors such as LESS and SASS/SCSS that can work with CSS variables, and perform calculations and output CSS via ‘mixins’.

  • less.js
