Grid

The basic grid system consists of a 12-column grid. To employ it simply wrap the columns in a div with class of pl-row.

Add a class to each column associated with the amount of columns of 12 you've like it to take.

.pl-col-sm-6

.pl-col-sm-4

.pl-col-sm-3

.pl-col-sm-2

Platform includes a simple responsive grid system that includes multiple break points depending on the classes used.

.pl-col-lg- Breaks at 1200px
.pl-col-sm- Breaks at 768px
.pl-col-xs- Doesn't break, even on small resolutions

The following grid will have 4 columns on large screens, 3 columns on smaller screens and 2 columbs on mobile.

.pl-col-lg-3 .pl-col-sm-4 .pl-col-xs-6
