Hi,
I am building a new WebSite based on Grails technology.
Concerning the graphical design of my website, I plan to use services from a professional web designer but meanwhile, I need to do some basics graphical design myself in order to have a "user-friendly" beta-version.
I have read through the stackoverflow.com site but couldn't make up my mind. Here is what I have found out: how-do-you-choose-a-css-framework what-is-the-best-css-grid-framework can-someone-recommend-a-bells-and-whistles-css-framework what-is-the-best-css-framework-and-are-they-worth-the-effort
But unfortunately there are many contradictory answers. First, some say that using CSS framework is backwards authoring and not a good thing. Others advice YUI Grids, BluePrint, 960 gs, YAML...And many say that Compass allows to develop CSS layouts easily and reusable.
So considering that:
- I am new to the CSS world and I do not intend to be a web designer
- My layout should be user-friendly (but not necessary awesome L&F)
- It should be maintanable and easily improvable (by a professionnal web designer)
- Easy to implement (in order to have something quickly)
What do you advice me for getting started with the web design of my site?
Thank you for your advices.
Fabien
