What the fuck is CSS?
 

OK so I ask him (my site designer) to build me a pure html site with no javascript, no php, no flash, no css and no bullshit. I like to keep things really simple and with minimum hassle and fast load times.

What does he do? He uses CSS on all the pages.

Is CSS a good thing? Does it slow loading times and does it cause compatibility issues on browsers? Can someone clear this one up for me because im just clueless and he's totally obsessed with using CSS on my pages.

Sounds like someone built you a good design and you are about to piss them off by
complaining.

CSS works and is standard and reccomended by most web people.

And if CSS were to actually slow down your website then that would be a clear
sign that you are on a overloaded server.

No way should your site slow down.

CSS is an excellent way to control the appearance of all the elements and items on a website. It should not encumber the site, and there may be cross-browser compatibility issues dependent upon what you're trying to do accomplish. However, a good designer will know how to create valid CSS and HTML so these cross-browser issues are compensated for, or avoided altogether.

Sounds to me like you don't know what you're doing and should leave it up to your designer. :2 cents:

That is exactly what CSS does...It can significantly increase load times by decreasing the amount of code.

html is oldschool, css is teaching at school now ... i can cut for you clean html in hour, my programmer cut css in three hours saying that css is needed for seo ... i am always making only simple html pages and i can be at the first page in 12 hours for millions keyword ... so, css is just new html, but you can hear also that html is shit and only assholes are using it ... :) just wanted to say ...

Cascading Style Sheets

its like a blowjob... only from your rendered html, not a cute chick... and without the really great orgasm part, just streamlined updating and layout... yeah... so its kinda nothing like a blowjob, but its still pretty great

You should have had him just do the whole thing in Perl.

QUOTE FOR TRUTH:
"because im just clueless"

This is a webmaster board and you're asking what CSS is?

That's like someone going to a mechanic's board and asking what a V-8 is or an attorney's board and asking what due process is.

css is good. if you know nothing about any of it assuming to tell the guy how to do his job is the very definition of pomp. There is a BIG difference between defining parameters to work within and outright overstepping your own position as a boss. :2 cents:

It's kind of hard to have a decent website with no html.
Even a 100% flash site is going to have an html page with the embed code.

Sooooooo....you don't work on cars do ya? :1orglaugh

If anybody reading this thread is interested in giving me a fair price on a CSS based MySpace profile, hit me up.

I hate doing jobs for people like you. Hopefully you didn't complain too much, you might still be able to salvage a good designer.

Wow, you guys really tore this guy apart.

Actually, thats what i was hoping for........ up front, in your face. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I wanted to be sure before I complained about anything and it seems that my fears were completely unfounded. I'll let him continue with the CSS.

CSS can help your site get indexed better. If there are way too many HTML tables embedded withon one another, it may make it difficult for SE bot to spider the content of the page thoroughly.

If you page doesn't get fully indexed or if SE bots don't follow all the links on the page, you may consider CSS instead of tables to make it easier on SE bots

CSS is good, taste like banana.

He's actually doing you a favor, stop complaining.

css speeds up site loading, and simplifies the site code,
but sometimes css can be very complex for someone else to maintain or edit...
but in general it's a good thing...

hi Alienq

css is used with load times in mind. proper use of a stylesheet should speed up your load times, not slow them.

I would try potter, he does them when hes not booked, hes a wiz at css

Yes, it can get complex, but I find that CSS saves time since the lion's share of one's design can be kept in one file, and come time to edit, one must only worry about one file as opposed to going through the entire site to edit :2 cents:

css is the way to go

Potter and I have discussed this. I find that a grand is WAY out of line for what I am looking for. :2 cents:

CSS is HTML. :2 cents:

I find it funny he is questioning his designer lol

potter give AaronM a break :thumbsup

That was the price for doing it while I was booked. I offered to do it a couple weeks ago at an hourly rate. :2 cents:

I offered :thumbsup

Umm ya ok.. wow..

I seem to recall something like that.

Not sure how you run your business but I know how I run mine. My rate doesn't change if I am busy or slow. My rate is my rate....I consider that the only fair way to do business.

My work is not worth any more during a slow week than it is during a busy week.
