Good question. When I first started with Wizzy 14 I read and watched plenty of material. I was still unsure which to use. Here is where I am today:
* I use layout grids by default - changing the Grid System in properties Under Miscellaneous to Flexbox
- The Overflow property needs to be changed from default if you want to have more control of the Layout Grid in Breakpoints
Crispy should do a Zoom Meeting just on this feature! You will be blown away.
* I love the card container and cards
* I have used Layers only a few times for something like a floating message when a page is opened.
* I have used the Flex Grid on several Master Page Headers for more control and placement of objects, only once for a page design
* I don't use Flex Containers. Probably because I don't use it, I am not as comfortable with it, so I don't use it
My 2 cents is to work with Layout Grids until you can't do something and then ask the forum how to do what you can't do.
Best of Luck to you - I just wish I had switched to Wizzy years earlier

I did look over the site you want to copy - gamafix.lt I believe Layout Grids will do what you need.

Thank you for your help. I tried to use layout grid, then flex grid.
The flex grid is more compact and more easy to work with.
Now I'm stuck with inability to auto link pages with articles to a table. Perhaps you know a work around?

I saw that. I posted a couple of ideas in the other thread. Not exactly what you have, but a couple of simple options.
