All the benefits of a hand-crafted grid, without all the math.

So: you want to build a strong grid-based website? Your best option is to become a CSS guru over night and slog through a series of intricate calculations and cross-browser inconsistencies before finally writing pages of repetitive and incomprehensible code. Or, given your time constraints and fear of math, you can pick up any number of CSS frameworks, sell your semantic soul, litter your HTML with presentational trash, and confine yourself to the strict pre-made grid that has been provided. The only problem is: whether you are an expert or beginner, both options suck.

Susy is different - a simple grid system that is fully customized to your markup, your grid, your designs, the way you want them. All gain, no pain.
