CSS Framework Roundup | Konigi
Hidden Pixels recently rounded up the available CSS frameworks into a list. I happen to be evaluating CSS frameworks as well to find a flexible system to provide on a CMS I’m working on. The Hidden Pixels list isn’t very descriptive of the specific usage or value each framework has to offer, so I’ve provided a summary of each to make this a useful reference when evaluating the list.
The CSS presentation frameworks listed below provide the underlying CSS structure for typical web site needs. The idea behind most of these is that they provide rules for the kinds of markup and layout web designers do repeatedly. They may supply grid systems and typography support, but not all of these provide both. Most provide at minimum an Eric Meyer style CSS reset. I’ve divided the lists into separate the frameworks providing support for grid-based customizable layouts from the other types of systems.
Personally, I’m not fond of the one-size-fits-all approach to creating websites but a lot of designers swear by them.
