Do not use it when
Never confuse CSS Grid layout with the interactive ARIA data-grid role. They solve different problems.
Name used in code
display: grid Before you ship
Check content order, shared design values, component consistency, contrast, zoom, and layout changes by screen size. Verify every theme, language, and state. If there is motion, offer an equal reduced-motion experience.
Outcome: Use or define CSS Grid to make the visual experience clear and easy to use. User context: A dashboard places its chart, summary, and activity panel in named grid areas. Design concept to apply: CSS Grid. Why it fits: Use CSS Grid when items must line up across both directions or share the same tracks. Do not use it when: Never confuse CSS Grid layout with the interactive ARIA data-grid role. They solve different problems. Design requirements: Set the content order, shared design values, and reusable components. Define how the layout changes by screen size and state. Keep useful design choices separate from decoration. Inclusion and resilience: Check contrast, zoom, languages, themes, and reduced motion when needed. Do not use color or effects as the only way to show meaning. Acceptance criteria: The design stays clear on phones and desktops, at zoom, in every theme, and in all supported languages. Interactive states stay clear and consistent. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): A formal document may still be a draft, release candidate, or final version. Check its status and browser or platform support. Unknowns to confirm: Brand limits, amount of content, supported themes and languages, target devices, and design-system rules.
