8Grids & columns

Now I want to look at the grid arrangement of the website, the idea is to have the arrangement shown in Figure 3.20 (reproduced below as Figure 8.1):

Figure 8.1 - Website layout

Figure 8.1   Website layout

The main site will have the three column layout based on a five column Gerstner grid arrangement; there will be a single width column on each side and a central column that will span the three remaining columns in the middle.

That said, I want a bit more flexibility. If I’m going to write the code for one arrangement, why not make it flexible enough to handle any arrangement of Gerstner grid columns—this will make the code much more useful and adaptable.

And that is what I will do; the whole grid arrangement will be stored in its own CSS file called (imaginatively) grid.css.
