3,943 PointsBuilding your own css framework
Everyone,
What do you guys think about writing your own css framework instead of using ones like: Skeleton, Bootstraps, 960Grid, etc.
Is there a very basic grid system out there that doesn't style buttons, forms, etc, but just resets the browser and gives you grids.

7,329 PointsNormalize will reset http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/
I guess you can then choose your preferred grid system and combine them

3,943 PointsThanks guys, I figured to use the normalize.css. I'll check out the Golden Grid System though, James.

39,199 PointsThe 3 assets I listed each do different things, you don't need to use a grid system you can work out the math to make your own grids as is the done in the Build a Responsive Web Site course.
