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?

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.

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).
