You may be wondering what the heck is CSS?  CSS is an acronym for Cascading Style Sheets, which is a web programming language that defines the layout and presentation of your website. CSS was a revolution in web design, which replaced table-based websites as the standard. There is a possibility that your site is a table-based design and needs to be updated to CSS. The concrete benefits of CSS include:
<ul>
	<li>Allows for better Search Engine Optimization (SEO)</li>
	<li>More precise control of layout</li>
	<li>Can apply to different media-types, such as mobile phones</li>
	<li>Has numerous advanced and sophisticated techniques</li>
