Fixed-width Layout
It uses a fixed width for the main content container. The content remains centered, and the width does not change regardless of the screen size or browser window width.
Fluid or Liquid Layout
The width of the main content container is set as a percentage of the screen or browser window width. This is responsive and can adapt to different screen sizes, but the design may appear stretched or compressed on extreme screen sizes.
Responsive Layout
It adjusts the content and design based on the screen size and device capabilities. It uses media queries, flexible grids, and fluid images to provide an optimal viewing experience on different devices, such as desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
Grid-based Layout
It uses a grid system to divide the content into columns and rows by using some Grid frameworks, such as Bootstrap and Foundation, to provide predefined grid systems that simplify the creation of responsive grid-based layouts.
Single-page Layout
It has all the content on a single webpage, typically achieved by using anchor links or smooth scrolling.
Multi-column Layout
It divides the content into multiple columns, allowing for sidebars, related content sections, or multiple content areas.
