Printer Friendly VersionReduced Development Costs
Making Changes is Faster & Cheaper
By using Cascading Style Sheets to separate presentation from content, a site's appearance can be altered by changing just one file. This makes small changes to the design much faster and therefore cheaper.
Testing Takes Less Time
Because pages built to standards can be validated against a set of rules, any errors are easier to locate and fix. This reduces costs by making testing easier.
Re-Use Content For Different Formats
When formatting and layout is separated from page content, it is much easier to reuse or repurpose the content for multiple formats or devices, e.g. producing a "printer friendly" page, or pages that can be viewed on a mobile phone. This can also help reduce development costs.
