Grids

why do we (designers) use a grid? what are the benefits or functions?

--We use it to take control of the page, for organization and to unify the page. It keeps the page from being all over the place so the message(s) are clear, and the content isn't overwhelming. Grids help to align text and photos where they are most functional for whatever the purpose of the particular item.
