Style Guide

The styles are controlled using CSS

The content below illustrates how we use CSS Style Sheets to control the look and feel of this site. This is how we control the styling on all sites that we build.

We just enter the main colours for Primary, Secondary, Base and Neutral.  The other colours you see when you hover over the central button of the colour wheel are created automatically.

The typography on this site is responsive.  As you resize the browser window you will see those changes. This site is built using Bricks Builder and the styles you see below are generated by Automatic CSS

If you need more colours you can add in Tertiary and Accent colours which will have their own light and dark shades.

Colours, and sometimes fonts, are normally taken from a brand’s logo.

The template used to create the Style Guide are from Frames for Bricks and designed to be used with Automatic CSS.
