If you find yourself wrestling with CSS layout, it's likely you're making decisions for browsers they should be making themselves. Through a series of simple, composable layouts, Every Layout will teach you how to better harness the built-in algorithms that power browsers and CSS. Employing algorithmic layout design means doing away with @media breakpoints, "magic numbers", and other hacks, to create context-independent layout components.

There are also grid classes for dividing a page into thirds: grid-33 and grid-66.
