If possible you could alternatively have send her (every browser which doesn't support full grid) a mobile layout like described in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txZq7Laz7_4&app=desktop

> From this follows a simple but surprising truth: The lack of support for CSS grid in an old browser should not affect the experience of the visitor, but rather just make the experience different.

> If you agree with this (and you should), there is no reason you can’t use CSS grid today!

> Here’s how that approach could work in practice. Rather than using fallbacks and shims to ensure a design and layout look the same across all browsers, we’d provide the mobile vertical single-column layout to all browsers and then serve up advanced functionality to those browsers and viewport widths that can take advantage of them. It might sound like progressive enhancement, but it’s actually more of an accessibility-centric approach enabled by a mental shift.
