CSS I am Loving it...

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to separate all page elements such as fonts, color and layout from the content. A web page is more easily accessible when its content is separated from the layout. I think all websites should be developed by using CSS2.

Check out the reasons to do so..
  • It gives a consistent look and feel through out the website
  • It creates very neat and clean code so it becomes very easy to validate
  • More accessible
  • Very easy to change the look and feel of the entire website
  • CSS based designs displays very well on mobile devices
  • Page size reduced by 25-30%
  • Much better rendering speed as compared to table based designs
  • Separating content from the layout is recommended by Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) so its very important to make website standard compliant by using CSS2
  • CSS Designs are more google friendly :)
