A grid framework, or any framework for that matter should be used as a tool to help you get done faster - not something you must adhere to (although some are extremely opinionated). Most of the frameworks I've encountered have classes to eliminate those gutters (e.g. push()/pull() in Susy) as needed. Layout development can be really quick when the designers are working off of a grid template that the devs already have a shell for. For example, 960.gs came with layout templates for many popular design programs. The designer could say, I used a 1024px max width layout, 16 column grid, 20px gutters. > > 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 think, in this context, you're talking about how you position things within, say, your sidebar. The sidebar would align to the grid, and then how you position elements within it (such as images) can be adjusted. You could certainly mimic "snapping" by taking out margin. Again, I may be way off because I'm not exactly sure of the question. > 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 ? > This is what I was referring to earlier - using the same grid for a design template and your css.
