Ultimate Guide to Grid-Based Web Design

grid-based-layout

Web design trends now point to one aspect of using CSS for the basic website wireframe - Grid-based layouts. I haven't actually used this into my projects lately, but I'm really planning to jump into the bandwagon. I don't wanna be left out! I stumbled upon this site called 960 Grid System which offers a CSS generator for your grid layout, as well as examples of websites that use the grid-based system. Since then I've tried to go deeper into knowing how grid layouts work.


Recently, web design blog Noupe has published a complete guide all about grid based layouts - including techniques and tools:
Virtually any website you design should be based on a grid. Grids lend a sense of structure to your site and improved usability for your visitors. And designing to a grid can simplify your design process and make you a more efficient designer. In a grid-based design, since the guides are already in place for you, your options are reduced, making it easier to decide on the width and height of different elements on your pages.

All in all, it is a really good article especially for someone like me who want to know more about the concept of grid-based layouts and how to use them. Visit the article: Ultimate Guide To Grid-Based Web Design: Techniques and Tools
