I found that most of the Bootstrap grids for Sketch did not use Sketch’s Show Layout (Ctrl–L) or don’t mark the midpoint of column gutters, so that’s why I made this grid template. I hope you like it!

I find that many designers (especially those coming from print) don’t really understand how resolution works on the web, so I’d like to explain it. These concepts apply to whatever design app you use (Photoshop, Sketch, Adobe XD, Illustrator, etc.) and understanding this will help you create properly sized web graphics.
Quick Explanation
If an image will be coded into a space of 300 pixels, you have to make:
A 300 pixel wide image (for 1x displays).
A 600 pixel wide image (for 2x displays).
In a webpage, both images will be coded so they appear physically the same size, but the 2x image has more pixels squeezed into that space (so it appears sharper and more detailed).
NOTE: The resolution you see in Photoshop (such as 72ppi) is ignored by web browsers and is therefore irrelavent. It does not matter what the resolution is set to (so just make it 72ppi). All that matters is the pixel width and height of your images!
