The CSS Fight
Wired News went all CSS Layout, and give us an explanation.By switching to XHTML and completely adopting CSS, Wired News pages now load
faster, and are at once more accessible to all Web browsers and specialized
browsing environments used by the visually or physically impaired. By stripping
out font, color, and margin rules from the markup, and aggregating all those
style rules into just a couple of CSS files, design changes can be propagated to
thousands of pages instantly.
For benefits, we have:
- Faster speed,
- Lower weight (kb)
- Easier maintenance
- Faster development
- 100% accessible
- Lower customer support needs
