When using a Grid FrameWork must you keep all the column classes and gutters or

I don't understand about grids, columns and gutters is if you use a grid 
template with the columns and gutters within Ps and place your graphics on the 
grid template, what good does it help ? I mean you still are going to position 
things where you want them and how you want them and CSS doesn't have a 
snapping feature that for example means you want a graphic here or there.

Instead have a grid template which you designed your site 
<http://line25.com/tutorials/create-a-gnarly-snowboarding-themed-web-design> on 
top, now your ready to build your page, you being to create your div, headers etc, 
you cut up your graphics and now how do you translate the design from the PSD to your 
grid, so you get an exact representation of your site whether it's a responsive site 
or not ?

I understand how a grid works in design, not so much in css because you have 
gutters, except in design it's a little easier you can essentially snap your 
graphics and designs in place, there is no code involved.



Good question. I avoid grid siites because of this question as well so I would 
be interested in the advice too.

Best,
Karl



We abstract out the process, in a sense. The designer has a grid or template or whatever they use to design/position elements, then send graphics to the developers. The devs have their frameworks they work with separately.

It lets designers focus on design and coders focus on building the site.
