You need options. Anyone that’s spent time collaborating on web design projects knows that every developer has their own processes — even with best practices being observed there is variation in techniques. So your CSS library should give you more than one way to attack a problem.
Website layouts can be a serious pain, but CSS gives you a great deal of flexibility in how you approach the layout issue. Often the home page needs a grid design while post pages have a three column layout, with other formats for custom pages. With CSS layouts already in place, you can quickly implement a layout and change as needed.
The following is a collection of layout libraries you can add to your own with multi-column static and liquid layouts. Enjoy and let us know which ones you like best!
