    Layout Gala

    I have been using these for a while and I think they are great. There are 40 different layouts to choose from. This makes design really simple and takes away from the time needed to set things up to align properly. I recommend it to anyone!

    Yeah that's been on the web for awhile, I would also recommend them because he's using negative margins + floats (to get the content which is FIRST in source order) instead of absolute positioning, so the "flow" is still there.. the concept is kinda hard to grasp at first.

    I prefer to use 1st Page 2006 it is a free software design suite. It allows you to code in several different modes.

    In addition, for different CSS layouts they are pre-made in 2 and 3 column that you can modify to your liking as well as many others.

    It is very useful and handy. See if it can help your cause.

    Not really great for people who are starting out because the layouts are "complex" with the use of negative margins and floats that are not very newb friendly.

    These are friendly to medium to advanced CSS users who know that source order does matter and know to put the content in first before the sidebars, sometimes even nav (if its large enough).

    Soulscratch is right. Unless you know how to use floats and negative margins, this is going to be hard to use. I'm working on a project that will hopefully "lower the bar" so to speak so that beginners can use them as well, but given how crappy this month has been for me, it's probably going to take another month or two to launch. :(

    Well, I thought they were good examples for new folks. Negative margins and floats aren't that hard to grasp. Just my opinion.
