I recently just started using the 960 Grid System CSS framework in 2 recent projects. I've got to say that I'm really liking it so far. Using the Photoshop templates to layout and mock-up the design makes it super easy to get an original design down in a few hours.

I'm not going to go into what a CSS framework is or what 960 is either. But I will say that my first stab at it was with a one-page static XHTML website that I built for a client. From start to finish I got the entire design mocked-up and coded in about 4 hours. It still needs a little work; it's the screenshot on the right, and you can see the site here.

My next foray with 960 is the mock-up on the left (screenshot on Flickr). I'm moving a site from Drupal 5 to version 6 and the theme needed an update, so I decided that a full overhaul would be best.

I'll try and remember to post a link to the site when it's finished.
