Grid system

The SWE uses Bootstrap's grid system, with a custom responsive gutter system. The sizes for the gutter are as follows:

  • at xs, sm, and md screen sizes, the gutter is 30px to conserve screen real estate
  • at lg screen sizes, the gutter is 50px.

Bootstrap’s documentation has comprehensive information about how the grid system works.

Breakpoints

The SWE uses the following standard Bootstrap media queries:

// Extra small devices (portrait mobile phones, less than 576px)
// No media query since this is the default in Bootstrap

// Small devices (landscape mobile phones, tablets, 576px and up)
@media (min-width: 576px) { ... }

// Medium devices (tablets, laptops 768px and up)
@media (min-width: 768px) { ... }

// Large devices (desktops, 992px and up)
@media (min-width: 992px) { ... }

// Extra large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up)
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

The SWE uses a responsive width that has a custom maximum width of 1327px.
