The Web has long suffered from two fallacies: that compelling sites require Flash, and that CSS-driven designs are uniformly boring. Wrong! Sites like the CSS Zen Garden and the CSS Vault have shattered both myths by demonstrating how beautiful and original CSS design can be. We'll dig into the Garden, explore the Vault, and see how CSS can be used to drive effects such as multi-level dropdown menus that work in every modern browser. The best part? The side effects of intelligently designing with CSS are reduced page weight, increased accessibility, and search engine optimization. Beauty and brains-- what's not to like? If you aren't stylin' yet, now is the time.
