Consider this is a demonstration of the flexibilty and durability of a tableless CSS designed site. We talk about the value of standards-based sites like this, about how, during any subsequent redesign, it can reduce development time while slashing development costs; each of these alternate styles took less than one hour to create.

Pretty amazing, huh?

Accessibility

But these alternate styles aren't just about the pretty. We have also included large text versions of some of these styles for our low-vision users. And if you feel the fonts are still too small, you may make them even bigger by holding down the "Ctrl" key and tapping the "+" sign on the numeric keyboard to the right of your keyboard (Windows).

This site has also been styled for a variety of media, including screen (what you're looking at on your monitor right now), print and handhelds. Try printing any page in the site; we have removed many of the elements you'd need in the screen styles—navigation, multiple columns, forms, colors—and turned each page into a simple and elegant printed document, again, without changing the content or creating a separate printable page.

Cool, huh?

Yeah, we think so, too.

Does your site generate revenue while saving you from expensive redevelopment costs? Ours does.

From “Why Standards Matter”

Changes made to the CSS are rendered globally throughout the site, making site management much easier. Design updates—even total site redesigns—become a simple matter of editing the style sheet; the content remains the same throughout. More...
