How to draw website design without being limited to Bootstrap grid?

Question

css

Hello, I have a purely design question. I know layout quite superficially. I faced such a problem, the layout designer asks to design a web application using a 12-column bootstrap system. I surfed the web, downloaded all sorts of ready-made grids, moreover, I found a completely ready-made site design to see how the previous designer fit the site design to the grid. And everything would be fine, take it and do it, but there is a problem. The grid limits me in the implementation of some ideas (of course, adequate), and I'm confused. I draw without a grid, everything is good in terms of design, but not good for a layout designer who grumbles. I draw with a grid, it turns out some kind of clumsy design (not always unconditionally, it depends on the idea), but the layout designer is satisfied. How to be? Can I draw without a grid, but at the same time at the layout stage,
Thank you very much in advance for your reply!

I doubt your competence, your design abilities, if you ask such questions.
Every designer knows that the modular grid can be different .
A creative designer is not limited to the bootstrap grid, but it is necessarily some kind of grid with its own vertical and horizontal rhythms .
If the rhythms, sizes of text and fonts are observed, then there are no problems for the layout designer.
Start at least with articles about grids, such as What is a modular grid and why you need it in... , Modular layout grid from scratch

A good coder, this one who basically typesets custom - without using similar html frameworks.
In this case, any design can be made without problems.
And, perhaps, that you should part with the layout designer so as not to torment each other! Or learn to compromise and listen to each other!
And you should familiarize yourself with at least the basics of layout, otherwise with this opinion:
You can stay alone with your "creations"!

Answer 2

The coder should adapt to you, not you to him. you are a creator, create

Answer 3

A coder who only knows how to bootstrap is an impostor.
