Live: https://jayli3n.github.io/nexter-front-end/

A mockup real estate website. Front-end only.

Features

• Fully responsive
• HTML and SASS only
• Emphasis on CSS Grid
• Uses 7-1 sass pattern & BEM to create scalable and maintainable code.

Overview

---

The entire layout is done with a CSS Grid, making it very simple and straight forward to position the main containers as well as making the overall page responsive with very little media queries.

Code for the entire layout:

.container{
	display: grid;
	grid-template-rows: 80vh min-content 40vw repeat(3, min-content);
	grid-template-columns: [sidebar-start] 6rem [sidebar-end full-start] minmax(6rem, 1fr) [center-start] repeat(8, [col-start] minmax(min-content, 14rem) [col-end]) [center-end] minmax(6rem, 1fr) [full-end];

	@include respond(II){
		grid-template-rows: 6rem 80vh min-content 40vw repeat(3, min-content);
		grid-template-columns: [full-start] minmax(6rem, 1fr) [center-start] repeat(8, [col-start] minmax(min-content, 14rem) [col-end]) [center-end] minmax(6rem, 1fr) [full-end];
	}

	@include respond(III){
		grid-template-rows: 6rem calc(100vh - 6rem) repeat(7, min-content);
	}
}

Responsiveness:

---

The website is fully responsive thanks to CSS Grids, and defining grid column widths arbitrarily:

grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(25rem, 1fr));

The auto-fit allows the grid items to fit into the grid dynamically.

CSS Grids:

Below is another example of using CSS Grid, this would have been very difficult to replicate without it.
