Implementing a Grid with Web Design
“…what a grid does, is it creates structure. And it creates a coherence page after page. And that really makes users feel good when the see this consistency. And it makes your job [as a designer] easier because you’re not designing each page anew. You’re re-using elements. And it’s really important in web design, which is so systematic, that you’re not designing each page. You’re creating templates.”
What applies on a printed page can certainly, and should apply to the web.
