Cascading Style Sheets

It's very important when building a web site to keep your site's content and style separate. You accomplish this by building your sites based on CSS or Cascading Style Sheets. One of the benefits for building sites this way is you can dramatically change colors, font types and styles, borders, tables and more by editing the Style Sheet. You can then apply it to the site as a whole or to specific pages.

This is also a convenient way to freshen up your site. Maybe the content is just fine but you want a more professional appearing site. With a little bit of coding and an attached style sheet, your site's overall appearance can appear quite different.

CSS is starting to be implemented for layouts as well. While this has many benefits, you must use it cautiously. The reason for this is all of the web browsers have not quite caught up with this technology and will not interpret it correctly. Always test your CSS with different browsers and run it through a CSS Validator.

At Technic Media, every site is written with CSS for presentation and sometimes used for layout when appropriate. Each site is tested against 5 top browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Mozilla/Firefox.
