chota is a very small CSS framework. All you need is 1 CSS file, chota.css to be included in your webpage.
chota is designed keeping in mind ease-of-use and minimalism, hence it doesn’t use any preprocessor or complex build process.
“choṭā” means “small” in Hindi.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Super lightweight. Just ~3kb (minified + gzipped).
- No preprocessor, just plug-n-play.
- Magical 12 column grid. The grid system is a fluid system with a max width of 120rem (1200px), that shrinks with the viewport. The max width can be controlled by changing the
--grid-maxWidthin the:root. - Easy to extend with CSS variables.
- Comes with a handful of components and utilities. It includes five predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose.
- Good Semantics. A semantic element clearly describes its meaning to both the browser and the developer.
- Supports icons from Icongram.
