Typographic & Baseline Grid Combined: Fluid Grid System
30
Oct
The Fluid Grid System is a CSS framework which combines the principals of the typographic & baseline grid into a resolution-independent one.
It has a comprehensive logic. The classes are mentioned like: six_column section or three column which makes it easier to use & understand.
With the simple layout & use of CSS, the Fluid Grid System degrades well in both older web browsers, scales with text nicely & presents content to screen readers in a logical manner as well.
The framework is also great for rapid prototyping besides final production layouts as designers can quickly design complex layouts.

I don’t know why, but I prefeer grids only when designing … in xHTML/CSS process I just write the code by hand
For better content organisation in Photoshop – gris are awsome
Grids can be helpful and I have in the past made use of them, but I am an old-fashion girl, who has a set of basic pre-made templates that I use over and over again as bases for most layouts.
Maybe some day I will get ambitious and change them into grid based templates, but for now they seem to work quite well.
I do have one concern with grids. If grids become the standard for designing, will designers become so divorced from the process that they no longer understand how the underlying HTML and CSS actually work? I feel the same way about most WYSIWYG editors.
