CSS Website Design

Cascading Style Sheets is a declarative language that is used to enhance the HTML language. CSS is user friendly and purposely designed to be very readable and writable. A minimum amount of coding can create sophisticated web pages that have a common theme in appearance and also improve the performance of websites.

Efficient & Flexible CSS Web Page Design offers a way of keeping content and design elements separate. This separation allows us to include more meaningful content on each page, thus Web sites designed with CSS Web Standards utilization often provide their owners with more benefits than older table-based Web sites.

Briefly, there are three main advantages for any business that embraces CSS:

Ease of Maintenance - A web site designed with CSS allows design elements for an entire Web site to be changed in a single file. When you want to change the type or size for a heading or for paragraphs throughout the site, your designer will be done in minutes or even seconds rather than in hours. The larger the web site, the greater the benefits of switching to CSS will become.

More Search Engine Visibility - By reducing unnecessary tags, such as table tags, the actual Web page content may become more readily apparent to search engines.

Accessibility - Though switching to CSS does not necessarily result in more accessible pages, at the very least it allows a skilled designer to remove unnecessary clutter and leave clues for those who use assistive technology to view your pages.

Your web site can gain significantly better search engine results. This is accomplished through CSS positioning of elements to put the most important elements first. It also allows you to move most of your design elements off your XHTML page and leave cleaner content for the search engines to index.

Your web site will load faster. CSS will replace those page-heavy tables to give you clean, fast loading code. Fast-loading pages mean no losing visitors because they had to wait.

Your web site will be compatible with newer browsers and will continue to be into the future. Since CSS is the web standard determined by the W3C it ensures that your site will continue to show properly as browsers are updated.

Your web site design elements can be updated from a single file. The CSS document can be linked to all your web site pages allowing you to change any design element and have all your connected pages updated simultaneously.
