In this article we examine how to start building a website using
fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CS6. We look briefly at what fluid
grid layouts are and provide a step by step guide in getting started
followed by some observations.
Fluid layouts provide an easier solution to designing for multiple
screens which has been a difficult and time-consuming task. In this
technique, percentages are used as relative measurements of width
rather than fixed measurements. This allows your website more
malleability and fluidity compared to layouts with fixed widths.
Designers need not worry about type of device or its size or screen
width, because the website through its design will adapt and react to
the size of the device used to view a website.
The new Fluid Grid feature in Dreamweaver gives designers a
visual way to control page layout for multiple screen sizes as well as
automatically integrating cross-browser consistency through the use of
HTML5 boilerplate and the respond.js library.
