Build Custom Frameworks Easily with CSS Classes
Generally speaking, I consider full-fledged CSS frameworks to be overkill. However, I still think that the foundation on which CSS frameworks are built — the concept of using classes to simplify layout and standardize design across similar elements — is very much worth investigation. […]
