Grid System

To make it as easy as possible to create pleasing layouts with a variety of content, Samford's templating system is based on a twelve-column grid arranged in rows. To use the system, simply create a row container and add column containers specifying each container's relative size by declaring the corresponding col class (i.e. onecol, twocol, threecol, fourcol, fivecol, sixcol, sevencol, eightcol, ninecol, tencol, elevencol, twelvecol). The columns in each row must add up to total of 12. The final column in the row must include the class last.

Content Design Library

In addition to providing cascading styles and the grid system, we have created a robust content design library to provide ideas for presenting your content.
