Designing With Web Standards is for every web professional who wants to reach more users on more browsers, platforms, and devices – including wireless and hand-held devices – with less work, less maintenance, and at lower cost. It’s for designers, developers, site owners and managers who seek to end the costly spiral of obsolescence, where each new browser or Internet device means a whole new coding cycle and another line item on the budget.
- To
Hell with Bad Browsers! (@ A List Apart)
The article that prompted thousands of designers to learn CSS layout and to use CSS instead of tables even when that meant hiding the design from old browsers. A nutritious part of ALA Issue No. 99, in which we converted to CSS layout and challenged ALA’s 65,000 readers to do the same. Many did. Originally published 16 February 2001.

Publishing Secrets

When it comes to creating your site, employing Web standards such as HTML 4, XHTML, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) gives you the best of all possible worlds. You can deliver your message to all Web users, no matter what browser they're using, and at the same time you can create a more pleasurable visual experience for the fortunate majority who are using modern browsers.
