Great collection,good job! I’v submitted a link of this article to our website http://www.webmasterclip.com in order to share it with more people.Thanks~

I think 90% of these are modified versions of Grid-A-Licious theme by Suprb for WordPress. I might be wrong though.
Marko July 4, 2009
Some nice samples here.
Massimo Marolda July 4, 2009
They’re all based on a theme released by typeneu and reform. Not that creative action to follow.
Byron Edwards July 4, 2009
The WordPress grid-a-licious theme (used in many of the above) probably deserves a mention…
Web Design Mumbai July 4, 2009
i seriously feel this will be a must for every website coz of the immense variety of screens we have so far. don’t know how many more sizes will we see in near future.
Greg July 5, 2009
We use something similar on our site http://www.nofavorite.com.
Catalin Zorzini July 5, 2009
Thanks guys, almost all the credit goes to teh Grid-A-Licious theme!
Jake Rocheleau July 5, 2009
Perfect article, exactly what I was looking for thanks!
Trendland July 6, 2009
Nice review,
We’ve been having a custom grid theme for 6 months already, dont know if you saw ours, but it a little more complex than those one, and thanks god, there is nothing similar on the web (yet! unfortunately it will com one of those days)
Have a look at http://cyanatrendland.com and especially our gallery page http://cyanatrendland.com/images/
Let me know ….

Bear in mind that the majority of these sites use the same theme – Grid-a-licious – with the colours tweaked…
http://suprb.com/apps/gridalicious/
I have stopped posting Grid-a-licious themed sites on http://siteinspire.net because I think it’s time for something new…
And also all these sites are ‘matrix’ or grid style layouts. Would have been more interesting to see fluid application or editorial layouts since this is much more challenging to do well.

Great examples of decent fluid grid layouts. I’ve just completed my company site using a nice fluid grid layout at http://www.zaum.co.uk
Zoe Gillenwater July 22, 2009
I don’t get it. I tried the first six sites and only one was fluid — aka, it changed width with the window. What are you guys seeing that I’m not?
Terrance(OXP) July 25, 2009
Different feel of layout which can provide the most visible information to visitors at one instance. Nice concept.
xyxjasilixyx July 25, 2009
Nice article.
Chauncey July 29, 2009
I cant at all get gridalicious to work. I was excited thinking these were other grids that had nothing to do with grid-a-licious. this is my site. id like a grid approach with categories. if anyone wants to contact me and sell me their wizadry at a good decent price. my twitter is girlonthestreet. thanks!

Its getting closer and closer from our layout – but nothing like it yet – still way ahead in the trends…
Cracka August 25, 2009
doesn’t grid-a-liscous rely 100% on javascript? and with JS disabled, the sites literally fail to render in any readable form..?
i’ve tested the grid-a-liscious site itself, and w/o JS, it fails to degrade with any grace what-so-ever.
have i got it wrong, or should sites still load without JS ..?
Dominique's September 18, 2009
You’re internet’s going to suck without JS anyway right? People keep giving all the credit to Grid-a-licious which is based off Space Collective’s card theme done 2 years prior.

Hi,
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I am looking for a fluid grid layout for my portfolio on WordPress. I would add tomy page and then tweak the colours and stuff to make it more of my own. Do you know any WP templates where you can get the layout for free?
Career Outlook August 7, 2010
Hey Catalin,
Its really a very nice collection, keep up the good work :)
cheers
dfunk September 7, 2010
Are there any open source or cheaper alternatives to grid a licious?
Greg Formager January 5, 2011
