The Donkey Times

New Use Found For Web Page

I have created a newspaper style page and will be used for showing off web page designs that would not have worked as well if it were not for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and web browsers that support it. The simple layout of a page can be changed using CSS, and unlike other methods, it is posible to have a page that works in all web browsers. The fact that the other methods do not work well in text web browsers is just example of a problem with creating web pages the old way. Now, I know you are saying, "Why would I use a text browser?" The answer is simple, you may not use it, but blind people do use the web too and they have problems on many of the old web sites. So, cutting out the blind population is not going to cut your profits by much and you have your page looking the way you want it, but also using nothing but flash on a site is bad as well. Now lets try this example, say you do have your site in nothing but flash, and a customer can't get flash to work correctly on their computer. So, by-the-time they fix flash on their computer, they have forgotten your web address and now you lost business, just because your site is how you wanted it and you made it unflexable. Again, if you did not use flash, you still could have problems with some web browers and that might drive your customers away. To get the most out of the web, you need to design a page that will allow change, and the plus side is you can use different CSS files for different web browsers and those CSS files can style more than one page, you can't do that with any other method.
