A better Photoshop grid for responsive web design Posted on 20 January 2012 • 90 comments In making the move to responsive web design, one of the potential hurdles is the rather awkward maths for calculating the percentage-based widths necessary for fluid layouts. If, for example, you’re designing with a 960px grid in Photoshop and you have six columns, each 140px wide, you divide 140 by 960 to get your percentage-based width: 14.583333%. Compare that to a container that has a width of 1000px. 1000 is a nice, easy, round number. Here’s the PSD. But what about our precious 960 grids? I should point out here that I’m not proposing a new framework. Caveat 1: margins A small caveat is that the 1000px grid assumes you’re not bothered about gutters on either side of the container, which might bother some people depending on the way you do your column margins. Caveat 2: rounding errors I’d love to know if you find this useful! © 2005 – 2014 Elliot Jay Stocks.
