State of the Word

This has been an exciting year for WordPress. We’ve grown to power 14.7% of the top million websites in the world, up from 8.5%, and the latest data show 22 out of every 100 new active domains in the US are running WordPress.

We also conducted our first ever user and developer survey, which got over 18,000 responses from all over the world:

We found a few interesting tidbits from the survey responses already, including that 6,800 self-employed respondents were responsible for over 170,000 sites personally, and charged a median hourly rate of $50. In tough economic times, it’s heartening to see Open Source creating so many jobs. (If each site took only 3 hours to make, that’s $29.5M of work at the average hourly rate.)

I talk about this data, and much more, in my State of the Word address which you can watch here:

We know there’s more good stuff hidden in there and we’re open sourcing and releasing the raw information behind it. If you’re a researcher and would like to dig into the anonymized survey data yourself, you can grab it here. (Careful, it’s a 9MB CSV.)

There has never been a better time to be part of the WordPress community, and I want to thank each and every one of you for making it such a wonderful place to be. Now it’s time to get back to work, there’s still 85.3% of the web that needs help.

Golden Grid System – A Base For Creating Responsive Designs

Advertise here with BSA

Golden Grid System is a fluid-width grid system which functions as a starting point for building responsive websites.

It splits the screen into 18 even columns where two of them are used as outer margins, leaving 16 columns for use in design. And, they can be converted (or folded) into 8 columns or 4 columns.

The folding process is accomplished by media queries and enables the website to serve good-looking pages to screens from 240 to 2560 pixels.

Normally, responsive grids using gutters proportional to the screen can display the content like "it's being squeezed" once the screen width changes. Golden Grid System has elastic gutters which always stay in proportion to the content.

The resource also has handy little script named Golden Gridlet, which helps overlaying the grid and a baseline grid of 1.5em onto the page for visually checking that everything lines up properly.

P.S. It is built by the developer of the popular Less Framework.
