960 Grid System
The 960 Grid System is an all-in-one package for the rapid development of websites that are 960 pixels wide. As the site says, 960px is a great width to start with for two reasons: “All modern monitors support at least 1024 × 768 pixel resolution,” and “960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with.” The system comes with printable grid paper (for sketching) as well as templates for Photoshop and other programs (for designing) and a CSS framwork (for coding). If you’re in to frameworks, this is probably worth a look.
