The grid is the most vivid manifestation of the will to order in graphic design. The main idea behind grid-based designs is the solid visual and structural balance you can create with them. Sophisticated layout structures offer more flexibility and enhance the visual experience of the user. In fact, users can easily follow the consistency of the layout/widget in a naturally consistent way.
A grid is a two-dimensional structure made up of a series of intersecting vertical and horizontal axes used to structure content. The grid serves as an armature on which a designer can organize text and images in a rational, easy to absorb manner.
While grid systems have seen significant use in print media, interest from web developers has only recently seen a resurgence. Website design frameworks producing HTML and CSS had existed for a while before newer frameworks popularized the use of grid-based layouts.
