Role Of CSS In Web Designing
The world of internet has been expanding tremendously and so has been the boom in development and launch of both new technologies and technology-enabled devices. In earlier days, websites were designed and launched in a standard size as there were no issues about variation in size. But with the introduction of hundreds of latest products like laptops, PDAs and micro systems, compatibility has become essential.
CSS or cascading Style Sheets is the best option which one could ever use to overcome such challenges. CSS has a lot of benefits to offer as websites designed using CSS are compatible with all the browsers. Any website designed using CSS can be viewed in any system, say a desktop computer or laptop or even a pocket computer or PDA. No distortion is noted with CSS designs; however, it was not so in the case with earlier designed websites.
Downloading time taken by any website to download completely is also an essential factor which is considered essential to judge the efficiency of a website. Anyone, for that matter, would find a website inefficient if it takes more than a couple of minutes to download. This might also sometimes lead to frustration and drive the visitors, who are potential customers, out of the site. This would obviously be a great loss to the website owners. Whereas, a website designed in CSS demands download only once. That is, it is sufficient if the first page alone is downloaded and the rest of the pages which are designed using the same style sheet are automatically changed.
Maintainability is also much easier as CSS enables easy change of web site content . Making changes becomes much easier and is also less costly and less time consuming when compared to other editing methods. Other than designers, CSS also helps programmers as well in gaining more control over how the pages are displayed. They can actually develop scripts from the same interface. The auto-fit option available is an amazing tool of CSS which automatically detects the version of browser used by the user and auto fits the web pages to suit the user's browser.
