Which Is Right for Me? 22 Responsive CSS Frameworks and Boilerplates Explained CSS frameworks have been around for years now, but the arrival of responsive design practices has rendered many of our old favorites useless. Fortunately, lots of really talented developers have jumped in to fill the gap with the next generation of CSS frameworks and boilerplates. There’s already a ton of these things floating around. Everyone has a list, but no one really walks you through how each framework and boilerplate differs from the next so that you can make an informed decision. That’s our goal today. Follow along as we take a look at what makes each of these 22 responsive CSS frameworks and boilerplates unique. Gumby The Gumby framework takes the 960 grid that we all cut our teeth on years ago and brings it into the modern age of web design with a responsive touch. The Semantic Grid System If you hate grid systems and their bloated, non-semantic markup, this one is for you.

Master Responsive Web Design With Gridset Let’s face it, responsive design is hard work. Web design was difficult enough when we were only considering desktop platforms, but the challenge of seemingly infinitely varying screen and viewport sizes has really added to the complexity of website layout. Whether you’re completely new to responsive design or consider yourself an expert in the area, the tool that we’re going to look at today will blow you away. It’s called Gridset and it’s amazing. What is Gridset? Gridset is a Mark Boulton project that’s currently in beta, and it’s aimed at drastically simplifying the responsive web design and development process. You’ve no doubt seen plenty of tools that make this promise. It’s difficult to describe how and why Gridset is so awesome, so why don’t I show you with a sample project? Create a New Grid Set When you first log into the app, you’ll be shown a list of grid sets that you’ve built in the past (you’re not just building one grid but several).

Experimental Page Layout Inspired by Flipboard An experimental page layout that let's you navigate pages by swiping or dragging as in a booklet, inspired by Flipboard. View demo Download source Today we want to share an experimental 3D layout with you. It’s inspired by the famous Flipboard app where a seamlessly “normal” page flips like a page in a book when swiped. We’ve tried to re-create that effect using CSS 3D transforms and JavaScript, making a layout that is “flippable” and responsive. While the swiping makes sense for touch devices, dragging will do for normal browsers. For the demo, we’ve made a little booklet with some placeholder text and images from NASA HQ. Please notice that this is very experimental and just a proof-of-concept. There are probably still many undiscovered bugs and although Safari and Chrome support all the properties used, we had to apply a couple of hacks to overcome some unexpected behavior. Some of the jQuery plugins we are using for this: A great help for creating responsive layouts like these is this:
Design to the Power of Three: The Magically Ubiquitous Number Three is only a number, right? Just one of ten numerals that we use to express value, nothing more. Or is it perhaps a lot more? Is the number three a designer’s best friend? Does it drive art, photography, design, architecture and even the natural order of the universe? Join us as we take a look at some ways that designers leverage the number three, and more importantly, why you should keep the number three in mind whether you’re designing websites, print ads or even logos. Three In Design Three is a magic number. Take a look at TheBorsky.com and you can see the number three at work in multiple ways. Examples like this permeate the web. Not only does three divide pages into columns, it’s also used to split pages into rows. Three takes a step towards abstraction here as the content is split up into two rows. Three was guiding designers long before the web came around. image source: jbcurio Three In Photography and Art Think that three is limited to print and web design? Architecture So What?
