I really like the 960gs, but I want to make an adaptive site. So I’ve been on the hunt for a css framework that includes 2 things: a set of media queries, a set of grid classes.  It’s been frustrating since many of the frameworks seems to have one but not the other. Of course I want to get this up in < 1 day. So far I think Simple grid is the best followed closely by Skeleton.

Frameless grid

  • Very little documentation. Seems to require LESS framework compiling?
  • Can’t figure out how to use quickly
  • Stack overflow: How to read less css

Less grid

  • Still have to define pixel widths for each media format? slow!

Skeleton

  • based on 960gs
  • Worried about page load, unminified, non-cdn
  • Have to Redefine lots styles.

Simple grid

  • Nice nesting of columns.
  • Seems the easiest to start up.
  • Worried about page load, unminified, non-cdn
