CSS is a remarkable compliment language to HTML, and anyone who knows the basics of HTML can learn CSS quickly and easily.

CSS organises your webpages so that they all have the same style, and that style can be changed simply by editing your css sheet colours and fonts, instead of every single webpage on your website.

CSS saves lots of time and effort in low level design coding, and eliminates the need for over use of the <font> tags. By using CSS you can concentrate on the core content and programming of your site, without having to type in repetitive commands for the style of your website.

I recommend to anyone that builds a website, or who plans on building a website, that they learn CSS and impliment it to its full potential, as it is a truly remarkable technology that saves valuable time and effort.

Survey's, market analaysis and all number of other indicators have shown that the "heavy graphics', "table orientated" and "flash" websites are on the out, and fast loading, clean cut, css-based pages are in.

Much of this is due to CSS Zen Garden - http://www.csszengarden.com. This site has shown that CSS is not just for controlling your fonts, but for the whole layout of your site.

Recent breakthroughs in "liquid layouts" which are CSS layouts that look like "table layouts", for example the traditional 3 column layouts, combined with the request for fast-loading pages has seen CSS popularity sky-rocket in recent times.

In my opinion, CSS is the way of the future, and you should get on board and experience the ease of having a site that can be schemed and themed, without having to edit countless amounts of HTML. CSS prvides a way for you to redesign your site in just an hour, all you need to do is edit the stylesheet, and all your pages will change.

CSS Topics that are relvant to layouts include:
float:
position:
margin:
padding:

Html Topics that are relavant to layouts include
<div>
<span>
