Every widget on my dashboard is the same size, so the one metric that actually matters doesn't stand out.
What you'll have at the end
A dashboard grid with at least three tile sizes, one clear hero tile, and a plan for how it collapses on a phone
You need
A row of same-size metric widgets already rendering on the page, in Flexbox or a plain wrapping grid, each one carrying a single number or short status with no widget visually bigger than the rest.
Not covered
Drawing the chart inside the trend tile, and loading any tile's number from a live API without causing a layout shift; this recipe only covers each tile's size, position and priority.
Leans on
A grid layout whose tab order doesn't match what's on screen
run that recipe if a later edit ever moves a tile's grid-column or grid-row without moving it in the HTML too, since that's exactly the mismatch this recipe's own ordering rule exists to prevent.
Build a full-page shell with header, sidebar, main and footer using grid-template-areas
for the header, sidebar and footer this dashboard grid sits inside; that recipe builds the outer shell, this one only sizes the tiles inside its main area.
