Webpage Style Information

All Lamont web pages that conform to our 2003 look and feel utilize stylesheets. A CSS (cascading style sheet) is a simple mechanism for controlling the style of all web document with the same look and feel.

By separating visual design elements (fonts, colors, margins, and so on) from the structural logic of a Web page, CSS gives the Web designers the control of visual design elements without sacrificing the integrity of the data - this also aids in keeping the look and feel uniform throughout the entire site. The use of CSS allows for faster downloads, streamlined site maintenance, and instantaneous and global control of design attributes across multiple pages.
