I stumbled apon a site called 960 grid system when I was looking for a systematic way to layout my CSS. The grid is based off of the grid concept in print layout. When a magazine, newspaper or other editorial piece is layed out it is designed on a grid. This grid can consist of 3 columns with photos, 1 small column and one large column or even freeform grids that use the shape of a graphic as a way to layout text.

The grid dominates print and gives it that harmony that the eye likes so much. This is a way to provide a consistent layout in your web pages. The CSS file that drives the layout consists of classes that define set parameters for the size of your columns and spacing. You invoke these columns with the respective class name placed in the div tags.

Take a look at their site and download the files, they also include templates for Photoshop and Illustrator for those who like to layout web sites graphically, slice them and apply CSS layouts.

Our site Gigapxmedia.com is layed out using this method.
