Blueprint Builder For Mac

Blueprint Builder is an easy-to-use Mac OS X developer tool that combines two apps into one: a CSS Blueprint grid creator and HTML layout builder. Blueprint Builder is actually a more user-friendly version of the Blueprint CSS Framework from wwwbluprintcss.org in the form of a frontend.

Using the application, you can design all kinds of CSS blueprint grids and create HTML layouts over the resulting blueprint grid. You are empowered to add great complexity to your HTML layouts. Thus, you must follow three simple steps in the creations process of a HTML layout: grid creation, HTML layout design and then export the final result.

Another interesting feature is the ability to import user-defined CSS IDs to the HTML layout or use d="sidebar" instead of class="span-6, last" when working with divs. In addition to this, Blueprint Builder makes it possible to generate Blueprint CSS framework for any grid size.

Aesthetically speaking, the application comes with a plain-looking user interface. It includes the grid in the middle and around it you can view its details: number of columns, column width, gutter width, total width, margin width and grid width.

To sum up, Blueprint Builder makes for a nice application if you’re looking for a reliable CSS grid and HTML layout builder. Its highlights are the ease-of-use and the ability to graphically crate HTML layouts in just two steps.
