I’ve been looking for a grid plugin that works with WordPress 5. This plugin is 
perfect for the job. Very lightweight, with ample documentation and examples. Awesome.

I searched for a plugin like this for almost years. It does exactly what it says,
in a solid and simple approach. Sometimes simplicity is difficult to find. Thank
you very much for this plugin.

 [oakhillman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/oakhillman/) January 4, 2018

This plugin is absolutely brilliant. Sometimes all you need is a simple way to divide
the content area and that’s what this plugin does. I will say that it would be even
more brilliant if you added parameters to set the background color and the text 
color. And btw, I ran it through the tenon.io accessibility analyzer and it came
out with zero errors, so that’s a bonus.
