There is no place that you can start if your design is based on a grid. By designing a grid you are creating a design based in stone. The more you try to create a dimensional design (especially with ems) the more you cast your design in stone. Go this page. http://www.jasoncampbell.com/CSS/ And via Tools | Options | Content, select 30px from Fonts & Colors. Notice how a horizontal scrollbar occurs and the grid is sitting to the left edge of the viewpoint.
