asked on

which tool

Hi,

I am after a grid system that allows responsive design and works for mobiles as well.
Now I am wasting too much time looking at grid systems like 960 grid responsive that doesnt seem work for optimally a mobile device . As in the columns should resize , move and some disappear  for mobile devices.

960 responsive grid tutorials are pointing back to fixed grid tutorials

So I looked at bootstrap which did appeared to work better  for mobiles and looked at tutorials for this like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGba0p2GX2o&list=PLKlA1QwYBcmcEUUBSmkl8_kgwn-_zuy-W

and the guy walks through another fixed grid display.

This is what I want to do with a grid.
I need to do something like this website, see how it changes to mobile view with resizing.

Hi,

Yes I can code for 2-3 version of the same page because I can do this with media queries. The issue is doing the same using a grid.

Bootstrap mentions (little hard to find) that the columns stack up automatically.
OK then what about a new navigation for a mobile do have 2 rows for this and display only 1 with a media query depending on a desktop/mobile display?

I just had trouble finding tutorials that explain these concepts I need to know for responsive layout/mobile layout for a  grid like bootstrap.
Start here http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#responsive and make sure to scroll down and read.  

I think it helps to either draw out your page by hand on a napkin or in powerpoint or some other draw tool.  I use napkins and Omnigraffle.  

I have never been concerned about column height because I use a solid background.  Check out  themeforest.net and buy yourself a $20 template built on bootstrap and that might shorten your learning curve.
