What it does

Builds common page structures such as holy grail, masonry, magazine, dashboard, bento, and sidebar layouts with live preview and code export.

How to use it

Pick a template, adjust the gap and padding, then toggle 3D if you want a better read on balance. Copy the markup for structure or the CSS for implementation.

Good fit

Useful for landing pages, dashboards, editorial spreads, and app shells where layout structure needs to be tested quickly. The 3D mode is for composition only, not browser behavior.

Notes

If you switch to Styled Components, the export format changes automatically. The preview is synthetic, so validate responsive breakpoints in your actual project before shipping.
