Best grid system for Wordpress

Hi guys,

I was wondering what in your opinion is the best or most friendly grid system to use for your custom Wordpress templates.

I have found Bootstrap to be quite easy and there's a good course on it in the Wordpress library here on Treehouse.

I guess it depends on what you're trying to achieve, but for a responsive grid layout I've found Bootstrap easy to use with some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS. Hope this helps.

You might also try Bourbon's Neat, it's a lightweight sass framework. Fewer options than bootstrap but everything you would need to build your grid system and since it's a sass mixin library, your final css output will only use the parts of neat that you need.

I use Bootstrap, is easy and well, easy to get the WP code there. It has to be well structured tho, it can get confused with the long class names.
