Need of CSS

Use of Tables in HTML used to be very problematic till the time CSS was not there. Tables used to make the Web Pages and Web Designs very heavy, resulting in slow loading of the website. They used to be incompatible with web browsers, thus leaving a narrow choice for the visitors to avail the website.

Then came CSS (cascading style sheet) which provided the solution to all the web pages queries dealing with heavy page weight. CSS based HTML is HTML without tables. Designs with CSS markups are very quick to load and browser compatible too. Developing HTML into CSS gives a different feel to the web design and some extra features along with it.

Code
CSS is a standard for HTML coding. The reason for this is its browser compatible characteristic. Earlier HTML coding used to face many problems in different browsers. CSS mainly shortens the length of the codes of web page, which decreases the page size, making it easy and fast to load in browsers

Design
Use of CSS makes the design simple; hence all tedious designs can be done easily and in less time. It also makes the whole website friendly and fresh. CSS makes the management of the entire website easy to maintain without any expertise in hand.

Bandwidth
CSS reduces the HTML coding and page size too. Hence the use of CSS also reduces the bandwidth usage. This ultimately saves bandwidth cost.

Printer Friendly
CSS abiding web pages can easily be printed without any intricacy, and the printers can execute the entire website layout.

Consistency
It is easy to maintain, handle and control the whole website made on CSS based HTML/XHTML. Ex: Suppose you want to change the background of the entire website, you just need to change the background of the single page in the style sheet and the background of the whole website will change. So next time whenever you think about getting HTML or XHTML Web Design work done, keep CSS in mind.
