Diagonal Layouts: Three CSS Techniques Worth Knowing
Nils Binder rounds up three approaches to non-rectangular headers and containers. First, there’s the SVG triangle method, popularized by Erik Kennedy on CSS-Tricks. Second, clip-path can carve away parts of your section — see Sebastiano Guerriero’s take or Kilian Valkhof’s discussion of consistent angles. Third, CSS transforms get the job done.
The clip-path route is typically the pragmatic call: crop the top and bottom, leave generous padding, and you’re finished. Yet Binder’s math-driven approach is tempting when you want precise sloped edges without fiddling with angles.
