Why Use CSS?

Cascading Style Sheets, Just minimize the formatting work, for web designing. you take an html element, if we are using font tag, heading tag for repetitive times.

Style Sheets allow you to control / formatting html layouts — e.g. fonts, colors, leading, margins, typefaces, and other aspects.

It minimizes the use of same formatting tab for web layouts of designing templates.

The concept of style sheets is actually quite simple. You take an element (h1, ul, img), apply attributes to it in the style sheet, and then just use the element in the HTML document. All of its formatting and other aspects are detailed in the style sheet.

Why CSS?

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a simple style sheet mechanism that allows authors and readers to attach style to Web pages. It uses common desktop publishing terminology which should make it easy for professional as well as untrained designers to make use of its features.

Visual design issues, such as page layout, can thus be addressed separately from the Web page logical structure.

One of the main purposes of CSS is to separate the content from the document's structure. CSS is used to style the content of the document while HTML / XHTML / XML is used to build the structure. That way, once the document is "built", any changes to the look of the page can be made in the style sheets. The changes are made once and then take effect throughout the entire site. This makes the site much easier to maintain and, if necessary, change a small part of it or its entire format.

However, it's not all that easy though. Its when we get into layouts, floats, margins, and other different formatting techniques that CSS begins to get a little complicated. But that's where we at the WDVL come it.

Benefits of CSS :

Style sheets allow to control the rendering, e.g. fonts, colors, leading, margins, typefaces, and other aspects of style, of a Web document without compromising its structure.

A Website Design | Point to keep in mind | Use CRAP Principles While Designing Website

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 8 Feb 2009 18:41:00 +0530

When you just begin developing a new website, what are the things you consider from the very begining that don't at latter stage cost you a lot to fix?

The key to designing a good website

There are many different methods that web designers use to create good looking sites. Some methods work for some people, others might not. It all depends on the type of website you are looking to create.

A widely used method is one introduced to me by Simon Brookes. It is known as C.R.A.P (Originally created and named C.A.R.P by Robin Williams and John Tollet)

Contrast Elements that aren’t the same should be very different so they stand out. Making them “slightly different” confuses the user into seeing a relation that doesn’t exist. Strong contrast between page elements allows the user’s eye to flow from one to another down the page instead of creating a sea of similarity that’s boring and not communicative.

Repetition Repeat styles down the page for a cohesive feel — if you style related elements the same way in one area, continue that trend for other areas for consistency.

Aignment Everything on the page needs to be visually connected to something else, nothing should be out of place or distinct from all other design elements.

Poximity Proximity creates related meaning: elements that are related should be grouped together, whereas separate design

elements should have enough space in between to communicate they are different.

The following brief description is taken from thinkvitamin.com

Good website design
Both the websites on this page are excellent examples of good web design. They both share characteristics of a site designed with C.R.A.P (or C.A.R.P) in mind.

Bad website design
The site below lacks many of the characteristics of good web design. Most of the main elements seem to be on the reverse side to most websites (Logo, secondary navigation, primary navigation). There are elements on the page which are simply not
required.
