Grid areas allow you to **name layout sections**.
This makes layout code:
- readable
- visual
- easy to change
## Example
```css
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-areas:
"header header"
"sidebar content"
"footer footer";
}
.header { grid-area: header; }
.sidebar { grid-area: sidebar; }
.content { grid-area: content; }
.footer { grid-area: footer; }
```
## UI imagination
Header on top
Sidebar left
Content right
Footer bottom
## Real-world use
- Admin dashboards
- Blog layouts
- Company websites
## Why developers love this
Layout reads like a diagram.
