The grid also dictates the size of such design elements as widths of column texts, repeated placement of elements, padding around imagery, word spacing, line height, etc. A grid’s main goal is to create a connection of unity within a design, which in turn makes web page content flow better, producing a more readable and enjoyable web page design.
