[Design]-How to create a responsive web design grid in XD?

Dear Designers and Developers out there,

 

I want to start creating my own responsive portfolio website with XD to hand it over directly to a web developer. It should be a wide website, something like this here with a main focus on Full HD (target group is designers with hopefully good screens 🙂 😞

After reading lots of blogs, articles etc., I still don't get what's the best grid for the biggest viewport. I want to start with the desktop website in 1920x1080px because it's the most important one I need to get out at the moment. I've read a lot about bootstrap grids that have a maximum width of round about 1366px. XD suggests that default settings:

Is there any standard, recommandation or anything what the best settings are for my case (responsive, "desktop first", wide view)?

 

Thanks for your support and best regards,

Michael

Dear Harshika,

 

thanks a lot for your answer. Indeed I've seen this page and also downloaded the templates. 

But what I still don't get:

if my target group (designers) have at least Full HD or even 4K monitors - why does Bootstrap then say you should stick to 1326pixels as a maximum width? In the templates there are some that use mostly the full width of 1920px which is my goal. And of course I somehow need to design response also for lower resolutions and mobile. But which grid can I use for Full HD and up?

 

Thank you and best,

Michael
