I run/manage/program/design roughly 30 web sites. I have to know a little HTML, PHP, Javascript, AJAX, CSS and various other web languages to manage my own and my client’s web sites. I don’t have time to master all of those languages, so I need tools which can take care of the raw code for me. My CSS tool of choice is hands down CSSEdit by my friends at MacRabbit.
What is CSS?
CSS is short for “cascading style sheets.” Style sheets can drive the appearance and even the layout of websites. The cool thing about using CSS to control a site’s appearance, is that it’s easy to make quick changes to the look of the site or document, without having to change the actual content.
With CSS, a single document or set of code can be used to “style” multiple pages (even multiple sites) with the same look, saving on tons of raw coding. Site-wide changes can be achieved by changing one CSS document, rather than editing each individual markup (html/php etc) document. The advantages are less code, faster loading, quicker editing and more attractive documents.
