Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

The use of Cascading Style Sheets or CSS is becoming more and more popular in the web design and development industry. It is probably more correct to say that it is becoming more and more mandatory as an industry standard in relationship to standards conformance and search engine optimization. The most basic use of CSS is to have control over things such as fonts (including font colors, font type, sizes and styles), background colors and images.
The more complex and in-depth use is to use CSS to make a lighter, faster loading website. With CSS you can create a tableless page that has less code and is compliant in more browsers. It can be trickier to use style sheets over tables, since you have to use the right properties for the right browsers and you must learn how to control positioning. You will find a great tutorial at W3Schools.com.
Once you do learn CSS, you will definitely see the benefits.
