We build websites using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).Why is this
important?
Look & Feel
Have you noticed that when you browse this web site all the pages have the same look and
feel to them?
This is because each page is linked to the same style sheet. It allows all of the pages to
take settings from one place.
So the background colour, for example, only needs to be set once instead
of for every page. This also leads to smaller file sizes for each web page compared to
conventional HTML coding and so leads to faster browsing of your site for
your target audience.
This is important because if your page takes an age to load the person
viewing your site could decide that the site is too slow and move on to a competitors
site, causing you to lose a potential customer, club member etc.
Fancy Effects
CSS allow various different effects, for example if you opt for a text based
menu system and roll your mouse curser over the items on the menu you will see that the text and
the surrounding background change colour to indicated this is a link that can be clicked
on.
