CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Why CSS Is Important To You
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used to describe the presentation (look and formatting) of a web page, but not the actual content. Web page content written with HTML are much easier to write
if you don't have to worry about formatting the presentation at the same time. CSS basically enables the separation of your web page content or text (written in HTML) from the web page's presentation attributes like; layout, image backgrounds, colors, borders, font-sizes, etc..
This separation improves content accessibility and allows you the freedom to be more flexibile by allowing the control in the specification of presentation characteristics to a separate area of the document, or in our case a separate file altogether.
If you decide later to create a mobile version of your website you may be able to simply replace the CSS file with one designed for mobile browsers.
How CSS Can Help You
By putting all your presentation requirements into one separate file instead of 50+ pages. The repetitive formatting of presentation would obviously be more error prone if you had to worry about all your websites pages whenever you decided to make a color or font change.
The Efficiency of CSS
If you have to state different presentation or behavioural characteristics within every location of every page, you would end up with a much larger web page. This means slower load times for visitors viewing your pages. This translates into lost potential customers since the average visitor to your site will wait less than 3 seconds.
Transferring Your Site
Because we can easily define all your websites presentation characteristics within a single file or 2, we can afford to do so with much less cost. This is passed on to you along with an undoubtly faster website as well.
