Some people can master it. Some people know only enough to get a simple style set on an HTML element. Then there are some people that just don’t have the time, so they look to something that can help speed up the development process…just like most other programming languages. This brings up the notion of a Framework where the developer can just plug into an already built Style Sheet and make his/her changes as needed.

I’ve been compiling lists in my Firefox bookmarks for years, so now it’s time to place some of the most common (and not so common) in a list on here so that the many others can reference to.

1. Blueprint
2. YUI Grids CSS
3. YAML
4. Tripoli
5. Elements
6. WYMstyle
7. Schema
8. His CSS Framework
9. Cw/S Framework

This is a slim list so far as many people are not ready to release an official Framework classification for their CSS. I don’t, but I do use the same setup across most of my projects.

If you see one that is not on this list, please let me know and I’ll keep an updated and continuous list of these much like I have done with my preferred free software post. I’d love to hear what you all have to say about these as well.
