- Why do you love CSS?
- CSS gives me all the creative possibilities I need as a designer. It has changed my entire work process. When I am developing a CSS layout, its adaptability and expandability are always in the back of my head. In the process of designing a website, CSS allows me to start early with the actual stylesheets and codes. When I was designing whole sites in Photoshop that point came much later. And there was more pressure on getting it right first time.
- The separation of content and design through CSS makes redesigns and small to huge changes to a website so much easier than it was before.
- What drives you crazy when using CSS?
- It drives me crazy to see a layout which works perfectly in standards-compliant browsers for the first time in browsers that don’t support standards. The process of including hacks or working around browser incompatibilities can be frustrating. Although I think the more you work with CSS, the more clever you get in constructing your ideas beforehand and thus have less incompatibility problems.
- CSS is a great evolving technology and it is really interesting to see what the future holds.
- Why should people write well structured / semantic markup?
- It is the only thing that makes sense to aim for. The use of correct markup allows for a wider use on multiple systems, allowing access through all kinds of audiences.
