I don’t use tables. At all. I’ve heard of some people (still) using them but I don’t. I generally go with display: inline-block
or float
.
TBH, I’ve never really cared for grid “frameworks” or at least one that someone else wrote. My knowledge of their inner workings is simply not intimate enough for me to do what I want, quick and easy. I always hand-roll my own grid system and Chris has a great video on this here:

Now, this video really only covers the basics and there are many ways to go about it. This will give you a strong foundation though.
