the benefit of grids in web design

In the world of graphic design (that includes web design) grids are a vital tool. They are an essential part of the process whether you live by them or ignore them. Alhough however you use a grid must be a conscious decision, especially in ecommerce solutions. If you don't use a grid you must plan not to, and plan how you aren't going to. Otherwise your ecommerce website won't work as a composition.

One grid technique in ecommerce website design that offers a lot of flexibility is the 960 grid. The 960 refers to the width in pixels of your final composition and can be used for a range of different column numbered grids. It can be used to create 12-column 16-column and 24-column grids, all of which provide a great deal of layout flexibility within your ecommerce website design due to each number having a good number of factors.
