Unleash the CSS - Creating Multiple Skins for your Site

6th March 2008 11:12 by tom

How easy is it to change the entire look of your site? If your site is more than 2 years old and the slightest bit complicated I would imagine it's pretty tricky... The days of table based layouts are long behind us. Over the past couple of years we've seen a surge in the use of true CSS based layouts which is fantastic news for everyone. It makes designs typically much cleaner, files sizes much smaller and sites faster to load. Best of all, with the style elements of your site clearly separated from the content and stuctural elements you're able to change the look and feel of your site very quickly and easily. We're just putting the finishing touches to a great new artist website CMS (content management system) that lets artists create quick and simple websites to showcase their work. The coolest thing, (apart from the use of the legendary Thickbox to update the pages, and the lovely galleries), is the ease at which the artist can literally switch the entire look of their site if they get bored of it, by logging in and switching the skin.
