CSS Grid Layouts

Today I started to build a new website and have been given the design from the graphic designer along with all the images that are needed to build the site.

The next step is to turn the design into XHTML and CSS and create a .NET Master Page for this new design.

Some earlier reading and research has pointed me to some nice CSS frameworks that can help me out with this.

YUI Grids CSS
Blueprint

Both of these frameworks allow you to split up your page into a grid system allowing you to create containers, navigation bars, headers, footers and such like and cover all the browser inconsistencies including IE6.

Hopefully using one of these frameworks will give the site a nice consistent look and feel and one that is standards compliant also.

Not sure which one I will use if any but I will post my findings in a future post.
