CSS Layouts

CSS was developed to standardize the way web browsers decipher the formatting of a web page. The team at WebDuck Designs are experts in creating CSS based web pages. Due to its cross browser compatibility, as a standard practice, all sites designed by WebDuck Designs are designed for CSS. We hand write all our code and do not rely on programs such as Dreamweaver or other web design programs for prewritten codes.

What is CSS?

CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is a set of rules, which defines how HTML elements will be displayed on your page.  Most commonly, the style sheet will be linked externally to your pages.  By removing the presentational markups from your .html file you will reap many benefits.

What are the Benefits?

Reduced file sizes – A CSS Based Layout does away with the table-based layout and instead uses <div> tags, thus reducing markup code and reducing the size of your files.  Smaller files allow your pages to load faster and increases your content to code ratio, thus improving your search engine ranking.

Less Bandwidth – Because you can link a single style sheet to any or all of your pages, once it is read, the style sheet will be stored in the browser cache and will not need to be reloaded.  Download speeds are increased and the amount of data transferred over a network is reduced.

Faster Loading of Your Pages–For the reasons already stated in the above sections, CSS will reduce your file sizes and use less bandwidth, helping your websites pages load faster. People become impatient when websites load slowly and may even maneuver away from your site if its too slow.

Quick & Easy Maintenance – Cascading Style Sheets allows for instantaneous updates to multiple pages of your website.  A simple modification to your style sheet and instantly each and every page linked to that style sheet is updated.
