<h3>Layout Engines in Modern Web Design</h3><p>Creating layouts that adapt beautifully from small mobile screens to large desktop monitors is a fundamental skill for web developers. While CSS Grid and Flexbox are often seen as competing technologies, they actually complement each other perfectly when building responsive designs.</p><h3>1. CSS Grid for Two-Dimensional Structures</h3><p>Use CSS Grid when you need to align elements in both rows and columns (e.g., a dashboard grid or page layout structure). Grid allows you to define explicit tracks, fractional spacing (`fr`), and robust auto-fitting options like `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr))` without media queries.</p><h3>2.
