Container

A simple container to center your content horizontally


The .container class can be used in any context, but mostly as a direct child of either:

  • .nav
  • .hero
  • .section
  • .footer

This is how the container will behave:

  • on mobile and tablet {% include bp/touch.html %}, it will have a margin of 24px on each side.
  • on desktop {% include bp/desktop.html %}, it will have a maximum width of 960px and will be horizontally centered.
  • on widescreen {% include bp/widescreen.html %}, it will have a maximum width of 1152px.
  • on fullhd {% include bp/fullhd.html %}, it will have a maximum width of 1344px.

The $gap variable has a default value of 24px but can be modified.

The values 960, 1152 and 1344 have been chosen because they are divisible by both 12 and 16.

{{container_example}}
{% highlight html %}{{container_example}}{% endhighlight %}

Fluid container

If you don't want to have a maximum width but want to keep the 24px margin on the left and right sides, add the is-fluid modifier:

{{container_fluid_example}}
{% highlight html %}{{container_fluid_example}}{% endhighlight %}

Breakpoint containers

New! 0.4.4

With the two modifiers .is-widescreen and .is-fullhd, you can have a fullwidth container until those specific breakpoints.

{{container_widescreen_example}}
{% highlight html %}{{container_widescreen_example}}{% endhighlight %}
{{container_fullhd_example}}
{% highlight html %}{{container_fullhd_example}}{% endhighlight %}
