5 Advantages of CSS Web Design

By March 2, 2020 No Comments

When you create a website for your business, time and money are likely to be major concerns. Luckily, there is a web design method that can help you save time and money while also improving your visitor’s experience. Cascading Style Sheets, more commonly known as CSS, has fast become the preferred web design method for the benefits it offers web designers and website visitors alike.

CSS is a language used to detail the presentation of a web page’s markup language (most commonly HTML or XHTML) – such as colors, fonts, and layout. One of its key benefits is the way it allows the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation (written in CSS).

If you already have a website that was designed using tables, you may be reluctant to make the switch to CSS, which will require some time and effort. However, the benefits of CSS are the same for new and old websites alike — so why wait? Here are 5 great reasons to ditch those pesky tables and turn your website into a CSS success story.

Consistency

By making one change to your website’s CSS style sheet, you can automatically make it to every page of your website. The bigger your website, the more time CSS saves you. And not only does CSS save time, it also ensures that your web pages have consistent styling throughout your site.

Bandwidth Reduction

When CSS separates your website’s content from its design language, you dramatically reduce your file transfer size. Your CSS document will be stored externally, and will be accessed only once when a visitor requests your website. In contrast, when you create a website using tables, every page of your website will be accessed with each visit. Your reduced bandwidth needs will result in a faster load time and could cut your web hosting costs.

Search Engines

CSS is considered a clean coding technique, which means search engines won’t have to struggle to “read” its content. Also, using CSS will leave your website with more content than code – and content is critical to your search engine success.

Browser Compatibility

The recent arrival of Google® Chrome is further evidence that today’s Internet users have more browser options than ever before, which makes browser compatibility a major issue for your website. CSS stylesheets increase your website’s adaptability and ensure that more visitors will be able to view your website in the way you intended.

Viewing Options

Another common web design concern is the increasing need to make websites available for different media. CSS can help you tackle this challenge by allowing the same markup page to be presented in different viewing styles —— for example, you may create a separate stylesheet for print or for a mobile device.

With so many advantages to offer, CSS is a wise choice for web design. If you’re interested in making your website load faster, look better and rank higher, consider using CSS to create a new website or improve an existing website.
