Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Structure provides a declarative Flexbox-based grid framework that defines layout using non-standard attributes for grid cells (e.g., str-row, str-xs, str-sm).

Target Customer

Web developers and designers seeking a small, declarative way to implement responsive grids with Sass.

Key Differentiator

Declarative, attribute-based grid system built on Flexbox, with a legacy non-flexbox version and no reliance on traditional CSS grid classes.
