Benefits of CSS

There are many benefits to utilizing CSS. Here are just a few key benefits as outlined on Web Design from Scratch:

  1. Much more flexible - Styles can all be written in one place and used as needed. When you have multiple pages on one site, CSS makes it much easier to change the styles across the entire site as a whole instead of redefining each and every page.
  2. Size - Using CSS creates much smaller page coding, in turn it makes it easier to navigate through the page when it needs updating.
  3. Separates style from content - Keeping your style definitions separate from your content and content-structure makes it possible to re-purpose the same content for different media. This includes styling pages differently for printing, as well as other user agents like voice (text-to-speech) and mobile devices.
