Building a CSS Grid layout isn’t difficult to understand, but it can be challenging to execute cleanly. Sketching columns is easy. Keeping spans, gaps, and breakpoints in sync across pages is where most people stall. The good news: there are several ways to build real grids. You can write CSS by hand, use WordPress blocks, or lean on page builder plugins. You can also use Divi 5 if you prefer to place items on a grid with controls instead of writing code. They all work, but in different ways. Some give total control, but slow you down during iteration. Others let you move fast during setup, but box you in once layouts get complex. The right choice depends on how comfortable you are with code and how much customization your project needs.

You can create a parent grid for your main structure, then build smaller grids inside its columns to organize content with real control. In this post, we’ll show you how to create nested grids using these new features. We’ll recreate the design step by step and show you how to style each grid level separately, ensuring everything stays clean, flexible, and easy to update. Let’s get to it!
