Card Component
This is an example card component. Build it with ACSS variables and you'll never have to copy & paste styles or elements, mess with limited presets, or manually change styles one-by-one.
Buy a license.card { background-color: var(--base-dark); border-radius: var(--radius-m); } .card__content { padding: var(--space-m); font-size: var(--text-s); gap: var(--card-gap); } .card__link { text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-color: var(--action); text-underline-offset: .25em; }Solve common development headaches with a few clicks
Automatic.css is built for freelance and agency work. As part of that vision, we're committed to solving common challenges and headaches that real web designers face on a daily basis. This has led us to develop "quality of life" features that no other framework on the planet offers. Once you use them, you'll never want to build another website without them (our apologies).
Build without guesswork thanks to cheat panels & live preview
Worried about learning the entire framework? You don't have to be! Automatic.css has handy right-click contextual menus that let you easily see the classes and variables available for a given style and add them directly within the page builder in a single click. Even better, you can live preview exactly what a class or variable does before you add it. Using ACSS requires no real memorization or guesswork.
ACSS puts Kevin’s workflow and philosophy into one easy-to-use system. It’s super intuitive while still being a robust solution that can handle anything you throw at it. A brilliant approach to style management. Love it!
