Web Page Design - Advantages of Using a Grid System

As a web designer, one must face a complex and sometimes daunting task, to make a page that looks good and works well. A client will ask for a web design that compels to his or her targeted market. The client also expects that any and all applications work the way they're supposed to. Do not expect the client to understand all the technical difficulties creating a web page implies. All the client wants is a working web page on the agreed date.

Pressure starts to build as you begin to design while the voice in the back of you head begins to ask, how an I going to put this together? In comes the pre-made grid system. The premises of the grid system is to give the designer a pre-made, already tested, structure that will allow you to spend more time designing than figuring out how to set up your design with you mark up. This also allows for the designer to take on more jobs due to the time reduction on one project.
