What is the big deal with CSS?
May 27, 2007
Since the release of such apps like WordPress, Joomla!, Durpal and others CSS is moving to the forefront of Web Design because of a few simple reasons…
- CSS is layout-based – The language is structured around how you can layout elements in a page
- CSS is simple to learn – If you are a business owner it may not be so simple but in terms of programming languages there is no simpler language to learn
- CSS spells “usability” – Usability is quickly becoming a beloved buzzword these days because the web and more specifically online business is becoming all about usability
As a business owner you may face needing to know a little bit about CSS from a concept standpoint when you are working with your developer or designer. CSS is what is known as Cascading Style Sheets and regardless of what you have your site built in you can use CSS to enhance the look, feel and layout of your online property.
When you think about building and maintaining your site CSS and layout in general should be a key concern because if your site is not easy to use your customers will not use it. That means that you are losing sales, business contacts, and a wide array of information about your business that is ready for the plucking.
