I'm looking for considerations that I need to make and known pitfalls when designing a grid for a Webapp (so not necessarily typographical or webdesign grids).
I'm specifically interested in what the considerations arise from moving a desktop app to the web. Is there any documentation out there for (old-school) desktop application grids? I couldn't find any.
All my searches have led me to all known CSS frameworks (Bootstrap, Foundation, Semantic, Unsematic, 960, etc.) which are useful for designing websites, and e-commerce sites, but not directly for creating highly intricate one-page webapps that require (quite) a bit more than a 12 column fluid grid.
E.g. has anyone ever built their own 160-col grid where you can switch seamlessly between a guttered and non-guttered mode?
Any previous bodies of work or experiences would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Allard
