I’m a newcomer to CSS3 and at the moment I’m overwhelmed by the plethora of options when it comes to frameworks.

Can anyone point me to an objective comparison of each, and when it makes sense to use one over another?

A couple of scenarios:

  1. if creating a single-page centered-layout microsite
  2. same as 1 above but want a 'responsive' design that changes on viewport, screen size

Here’s just a few I am considering:

  • getskeleton
  • framelessgrid.com
  • 52framework.com
  • 960.gs
  • blueprintcss.org

If all you want is a single page with a centered layout that is responsive, I would highly recommend Getskeleton. I've had some experience using this framework for my projects and it really is lightweight and easy to implement, it sounds like a good match for your project.

If you're not too bothered about the site being responsive I would say use 960.gs, It's widely used, meaning you can get plenty of support if you run into trouble.

Sorry to make things a bit more complicated for you but here are 2 more which have been reviewed by DesignShack. Bootstrap, from Twitter and HTML Kickstart.

(Bootstrap is currently not responsive, but ver 2.0 will be and should be released on the 31st.)
