- Before we get into the specifics of the 960 Grid System, let’s briefly discuss grid-based design in general. The idea is certainly not something that originated on the Web. In fact, it stems from one of the oldest and most basic design principles: alignment.Our brains like to simplify things to make them readily understandable. This is why we try to impose order on things that seem chaotic, like seeing a face in the craters on the moon.Naturally, the easier it is to impose order, the quicker our brains can identify a pattern and move on. Grids are so organized and orderly that they require almost no interpretation our part.
- Nine-SixtyAll modern monitors support at least 1024 × 768 pixel resolution. 960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with. I first became interested in grid design via reading articles by KhoiVinh and Mark Boulton. Initially, I must admit that I didn’t fully grasp the concept. But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this time-tested practice from printing works well on the web. Like it or not, web pages essentially revolve around boxy shapes. Inevitably, these rectangles have to come together in some way or another to form a design.As long as we’re using shapes consisting of right angles, we might as well make some logical sense of it all. Some time after the intial work of Khoi and Mark, I happened upon an article by Cameron Moll, heralding a width of nine-hundred and sixty pixels as the optimal size for design. Basically, 1024×768 is the new 800×600, and 960 makes for a good magic number to utilize the wider canvas on which we paint.
- The grid system is an aid, not a guarantee.It permits a number of possible uses and eachdesigner can look for a solution appropriate to hispersonal style. But one must learn how to use thegrid; it is an art that requires practice. ”Josef Müller-Brockmann

- Use Gzip - Gzip will significantly compress the size of the page sent to the browser which then uncompresses the information and displays it for the user. Many sites who use Gzip are able to reduce the file size by upwards of 70%. You can see if sites are using Gzip and how much the page has been compressed by using GID Zip Test.
- Benefits of Tag Management SystemsTag management systems offer a wide range of benefits for businesses, including efficient tracking, reduction in IT resources, accurate tracking, faster page load times, better SEO, and higher conversions.Here are some key benefits of tag management:Reduce tech resources – Saves large amounts of engineering time in adding, deleting, or editing tags because the systems come with pre-configured tags already – you just need to enter your account id or similar values and the tag is ready to go.Increase accuracy – Reduces human error in tag deployment.Significantly increase marketing agility – Make it simple and quick to try new things, thus increasing the likelihood of finding that one new special strategy or channel that can accelerate growth.Reduce page load time – This impacts the purchase conversion rate from your site visitors as well as improves your SEO ranking with google as that is taken into consideration in their algorithm.Data protection – Only fire tags when they should be fired so that third parties do not get more insight into your customers than they need to.De-duplication of conversions – Make sure your payable conversion firing events are 100% aligned with your true business deal and avoid paying twice for the same conversion.Improved system reliability – Using asynchronous tag loading no tag will ever make the page time out the consumers. Third party systems no longer impacts your site.Additional Benefits in Tag Management SystemsDepending on the solution, tag management systems can also provide additional benefits including:Versioning – Ability to do roll back to a certain previous configuration and keep track of changes to your tags.Auditing & access rights – Helping to control which users can change a tag as well as giving you a complete history of tag changes by different users.Meta-data management – Create a library of well defined variables that are available about your visitors on the web-site – re-use these variables in rules and inserted into tags as variables. Some systems provides an out of the box meta data model to make this easier for you – specific to your business model.Cross environment deployment – Streamlines the change process across development, staging, and production environments.
