Getting up-and-running with Concise is simple.

Disabling Responsiveness

Not interested in the responsive design that comes with Concise by default? Have no fear, disabling responsiveness can be accomplished with a few easy steps.

First, we need to ensure that the following <meta> tags are not present in our website's <head> section.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="True">
<meta name="MobileOptimized" content="320">

In your custom CSS files, or in <style> tags, you need to set a fixed width for your container element (I'm using 960 pixels as my example):

.container { width: 960px !important; }

This overrides the Concise responsive container that is enabled by default. Next, we need to add a single class to the <body> tag, that will aid in disabling other responsive aspects of the site:

<body class="non-responsive">

Just like that, you have a non-responsive website, and there’s an added bonus. Concise is built so that you can declare any width for your .container class, and the grid columns will adjust automatically. Every single column will have a correct width relative to that of the container.
