Hello, A column is a vertical division of space, a row is a horizontal division of space, a grid is a horizontal and vertical division and allocation of available space. You should ask your client which grid system or framework they use and then follow the example. The grid is the basis of the Swiss school of graphic design and is used for good reason, have images line up horizontally, have the baseline of text line up horizontally across columns, and other niceties of layout that make your pages more useable for the visitor.
