Line up to the established grid of the designers choice, that’s all. The actual 
elements and CSS used are completely irrelevant here as long as you achieve the 
objective.

I’d expect that would know of that you can use content column width divisions 
for some content and that further down (vertically) you can choose others that 
still do adhere to the same basic grid. 

Grids are not the same as grid frameworks. It sounds to me you mixing these 
concepts up. You don’t need a framework in order to use grids. All you need is 
the ability to choose and use grids as a concept and a tool. That’s all you 
need.
