Ben Frain has been a web designer/developer since 1996. He is currently employed as a UI-UX Technical Lead at bet365. Before the web, he worked as an underrated (and modest) TV actor and technology journalist, having graduated from Salford University with a degree in Media and Performance. He has written four equally underrated (his opinion) screenplays and still harbors the (fading) belief he might sell one. Outside of work, he enjoys simple pleasures: playing indoor football while his body and wife still allow it and wrestling with his two sons.

Summary


We’ve covered a lot in this chapter. We have installed the Susy grid system, included it in our project, and then implemented it to create a grid-based layout that responds to different viewport sizes. If we were always using Susy, we could use the at-breakpoint mixin to create media queries, changing the layout structure or appearance of certain elements when needed.

However, there will likely be situations when a grid system isn’t needed. Therefore, we need some independent way of easily creating responsive styles. In the next chapter, we will learn how to create our own media query mixin, giving us the power to easily change styles for any element inline.

In today’s responsive design world, it is one of the Sass and Compass features I find most compelling.
