Apply grid system to SharePoint using SUSY

As promised in my blog post “What is inside your SharePoint CSS” I like to show how it is possible to add a grid system to SharePoint without using Bootstrap or edit the master page.

Grid systems for web sites were popular long before Ethan Mascotte wrote his famous article about “Responsive Web Design” back in 2010. The first grid system I ever used was the 960.gs. It was released in 2008.

I’m speaking at the European SharePoint Conference 2015

Pretty honored to announce that I will speak at Europe’s largest SharePoint and office 365 event in Stockholm Sweden from 9th-12th November 2015.

I will be conducting a session on “Make SharePoint SASSy” aimed at Developers.

CSS can get overly complex and unwieldy very quickly—resulting in thousands of lines of CSS code across many files, yielding errors and becoming a maintenance nightmare! Believe me… there is a better way! SASS (“Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets”) is fast becoming the preferred approach in developing CSS! SASS is an extension to CSS that arms you with programming features, such as variables, functions, loops and many more. Join me to learn SASS and move from a complete novice to someone who knows where SASS fits and how to use it with SharePoint.

In this session, you will learn:
What SASS is and how to use it.

  • How to use SASS to brand SharePoint without requiring lengthy deployments.
  • How to create simple rich text editor styles using mix-ins and includes.
  • How to apply a grid layout and make it responsive.
  • How to structure your branding correctly to make it more maintainable.
  • How CSS 4 fits into the picture and its effect on SASS.

What is inside your SharePoint CSS

What is inside the SharePoint CSS

Ever wondered what is defined in the corev15.css? Let’s take a little look to some statistics of this style sheet. Another thing I like to consider how you change the style sheets when additional frameworks such as bootstrap will be applied to SharePoint. Plus, we will take a look how SharePoint Style Sheets will be changed when an branding will be added based on Bootstrap.
