Site layout

Cascading style sheets

Cascading style sheets (CSS) are used in this site to separate content from the display. The CSS contains positioning, layout, font, colors and style information for the entire web site.

Separating style from content makes life very easy for visitors who prefer to view only the content of a web page, or to modify the content. These could be blind or partially sighted people who might use a screen reader to interpret a page.

CSS also reduces the size of the HTML files. The CSS file is downloaded just once by the visitor's browser and re-used for different pages on a web site. This reduces the bandwidth requirements for your server and also ensures a faster download for your visitors.
