1,415 PointsUsing a CSS Frameworks for mockups
I'm designing a new site and of course I want to make a mock draft of it in photoshop. I've been doing a lot of researching involving the whole mock process. I came a cross a few designers who use a 960 grid system for their css. Is this a common practice, and are there any disadvantages to this?
