## What it is
Golden Grid System is a fluid-width CSS grid system for responsive web design, built from 18 columns (16 usable) that can fold into 8 or 4 columns. It ships as plain CSS plus LESS and SCSS sources, with an optional JavaScript overlay script for visualizing the grid.

## Use cases
- build a responsive fluid grid layout
- fold columns for tablet and mobile breakpoints
- overlay a baseline grid to debug alignment
- customize grid widths via LESS or SCSS
- learn how responsive grid systems work

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy site already built on it
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free CSS grid for simple responsive layouts
- you're studying early responsive design techniques

## When to avoid
- starting a new project — modern CSS Grid and Flexbox are better supported
- you need active maintenance or community support
- you need a full component framework rather than a grid

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: css-framework, ui-components, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: cross-platform
