For Those Who Don't Know 960gs
January 25th, 2010 by Matt Haff
I don’t know what to say about this other than check it out for yourself… I’ve known about the 960 Grid System for a couple of years and I’ve only used it a couple times. Recently I used it when drawing up the framework for the new 12Stone.com website and it greatly helped with developing a good layout. It’s great because you can design on a proven frame without having to give a second thought about monitor size, fixed vs. fluid layouts and the like. It’s also very handy because they give you access to PDF print outs for 12 or 16 column grids as well as layered Photoshop files, etc.
So from one web designer to the next, use the 960 Grid System!
The 960.gs is so full of WIN! I’m at the point where I almost can’t design OR develop without using it. I’m totally grid dependent. There are also some great resources out there for doing fluid layouts using the same system (it converts widths to percentages instead of absolutes). Simply.Awesome!
