The 960 Grid System is an effort to streamline web development workflow by providing commonly used dimensions, based on a width of 960 pixels. There are two variants: 12 and 16 columns, which can be used separately or in tandem.

The premise of the system is ideally suited to rapid prototyping, but it would work equally well when integrated into a production environment. There are printable sketch sheets, design layouts, and a CSS file that have identical measurements.

The 960 Grid System is free to use, and may be repurposed to meet your specific needs. Several projects have already spun off, including versions that were built to be fluid and elastic. Additionally, it appears that it will be adapted for Drupal.

These templates are offered Free of charge in accordance with the applicable licenses for 960 Grid System and Mootools.

WooThemes have adopted it as their framework of choice for commercial WordPress themes.

CSS Generator Framework is a tool that can save us much time, because with just putting the html of the site automatically generates a list of CSS for use with the class ID’s.

This tool returns corresponding CSS in a line-by-line way indented with spaces to reflect XHTML structure – each selector and all of its properties and values in one line. This may be a bit strange for you at the beginning, but if you get used to it you’ll find it much better.

SenCSs is a CSS framework that doesn’t provide a layout system but aims to take care of the rest, like:

• fonts & font-sizes
• paddings
• margins
• colors,
• tables & lists
• headers, blockquotes and what more..

SenCSs has support for forms which helps presenting them nicely (better form support is on the way).

There are also styles for elements like errors, warnings or success messages which are parts of a standard web application.

SenCSs, although being fresh & currently in development, is a nice base to start with & improve depending on your needs.
