14 Advantages of Using CSS to Style the Website

CSS stands for ‘Cascading Style Sheets’. CSS is basically used to augment the content present on the website accordingly. Style sheets allow the website designers to customize the entire website without too much trouble. The CSS contain different properties that can be set like page color, link color, margins, text size, alignment, etc. All these codes are inputted into a different sheet altogether. Using a style sheet has many advantages:
  1. Less Load Time: When we make a different sheet for the CSS, each style class are not loaded from the server. It becomes easy to set a style on different pages of same site using same CSS. So the page loading becomes faster.
  2. Making Changes to the Layout: If you want tochange the style of a document then all you have to do is open the CSS file which stocks the design of the website, and alter the number connecting to the location of the image. This will change the layout on all the pages.
  3. Accessibility: Making use of CSS makes it easy for the visitors to view only the content and not the styles applied.
  4. Consistency: Your website will be completely consistent throughout due to the CSS used.
  5. Less Code: As we make a style class and use same class for various locations with same layout, we use less code. And because we add fewer codes, we give the search engine spiders more content to crawl upon.
  6. Easy Maintenance: As we set a common style for similar layouts, it becomes easy to change any style. Thus maintaining the website content style becomes easy.

I totally agree. CSS is the way to go.

HTML was originally designed for just STRUCTURE of a website.

CSS is all about styling that structure and making it look good.

It's powerful, and far easier to use in order to style, as opposed to HTML.
