We enjoy working with teams pursuing large-scale projects
to plan, design, and develop tailor-made web applications and
design systems. As industry experts, we’d love to help you
improve team workflow, lower maintenance costs, and solve
problems that help people.
New CSS features are shipping at an unprecedented rate –
cascade layers, container queries, the :has() selector,
subgrid, nesting, and so much more.
It’s a good time to step back and understand
how these tools fit together in a declarative system –
a resilient cascade of styles.
What makes something a ‘grid’, and what’s at stake?
byMiriam Suzanneon
Back in 2020, Firefox released a prototype for doing ‘masonry’ layout in CSS. Now all the browsers are eager to ship something, but there’s a hot debate about the best syntax to use.
Inspect and manipulate the new CSS color formats in Sass!
Miriam SuzanneatSass Blogon
CSS has a range of new color functions that support wider color gamuts (like display-p3) and perceptually uniform color adjustments (like oklch). Sass now provides additional tools for working with these new color formats, and converting between them.

In July we talked with Stephanie Eckles about how (and why) you can get started working grids into your CSS toolkit. As requested, this is part two of our dive into CSS grids. We address your questions about strategy – demoing how we plan and apply grid layouts, starting with…

Web Components are a polarizing feature that seem simultaneously old news and not quite ready for production yet. But we’ve been making things with Web Components, and finding some areas where they really work well. Join us, along with special guest Zach Leatherman of 11ty, to hear more about how…
Other developers build exactly what you say,
or they don’t understand,
and develop the wrong thing.
OddBird always thinks about the project goals.
I defer to the team expertise now,
which makes a better result.
As core contributors to CSS, Sass, and Django,
we write the books,
help create the languages,
and build the OSS projects
millions of other developers rely on.
Bringing that expertise to your custom web projects,
we focus on accessibility, performance,
resilient design systems, and well-tested code.
OddBird was the wise investment.
We could have selected a cheaper avenue for this work –
we would have paid for it manifold in the long run.
—Furman Brown, FounderatTegy
Since OddBird thinks about handoff from the beginning,
maintenance has been super easy.
For example, 100% unit test coverage was a given.
I never had to ask for it.
I co-founded OddBird with my brothers in 2008
as a full-stack, boutique agency
to provide custom web application design & development,
along with refactors for integrated
design systems, accessibility, performance,
and long-term sustainability.
Since then OddBird has become an industry leader –
from our work on Django, Sass, and Susy,
to the CSS Working Group, Mozilla Developer Channel, Object Oriented UX,
and in-depth conference talks on front-end architecture, workflow,
component libraries, testing, and documentation.
We’d love to help you thoughtfully serve people with technology.
