Pages

Pages in Standards are essentially the same as pages on any website, and should feel familiar to anyone who has basic experience designing digital experiences. Each page has a unique URL, and contains a grid layout for content made to scroll vertically inside a web browser.

Home page

This is the first page a viewer sees when they visit the project on its published domain. Each project must have at least one page, which naturally doubles as the home page. Multi-page projects must specify which page is the Home page. The home page is indicated by a house icon, and can be changed by selecting the three dot icon while hovering on a page in the left bar and selecting Set as home from the list of options.

Layout and Grid

Every page in standards starts with a 12 column responsive grid on Desktop + Tablet, and 1 column on Mobile. All content is added to the grid within two (2) additional organizational containers named Layout and Column. Layouts span across the width of the browser window and have a customizable grid. Columns span the grid within layouts and group content vertically
