60/40 instead of 50/50. Visual tension instead of corporate symmetry. Second section flips the side.
Instead of dividing the page into equal 50/50 halves, asymmetric layouts use unequal proportions — like 60/40, 65/35, or 70/30. One side gets the dominant visual (large image, video, illustration), while the other side gets supporting content. The imbalance creates visual tension that makes the layout feel dynamic and intentional rather than sterile.
CSS Grid with non-equal column definitions: grid-template-columns: 3fr 2fr (60/40) or 2fr 1fr (67/33). The larger column holds the hero image. The smaller column holds the headline, description, and CTA. On mobile, both columns stack to 100% width. The key visual principle is contrast — a large, bold visual on one side creates focus.
Two sections, opposite sides. Scroll inside.

Create a product landing page using a 60/40 asymmetric split layout. Left side (60%): full-height product screenshot or mockup with subtle shadow, slightly overlapping the right column. Right side (40%): vertically centered content with a small overline label (like 'NEW FEATURE'), H2 heading, 2-paragraph description, feature checklist with checkmarks, and a CTA button. Use CSS Grid: grid-template-columns: 3fr 2fr. Add a second split section below with the layout reversed (image on right, text on left) for visual variety.
