  • Picking a CSS framework.

    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.
