The Use of Stylesheets

The Use of Stylesheets

In my opinion stylesheets are one of the best things ever. It makes things so much easier to update if you use stylesheets for your website.

For example if you want to increase the font size of the site, you only need to change it in one place, and it will change it everywhere in the site:

“BODY, TD {
font-family:arial,helvetica;
font-size:14px;
}”

We have also started to use them for making layouts instead of using tables. So the site is made with layers. One of the examples that you can look at is Pirates Cove Marina. There are many other sites that we are working on right now that are using layers.

One of the main reasons you want to use stylesheets is for search engine placement. The reason is because of load time. The more html code that you have in the page, the longer it takes for the page to load. So instead of having all of the font tags, bold tags, etc., you would want to use a stylesheet for these things.

So in the end, everyone should use stylesheets in making his or her own web site.
