7. Why use CSS to separate content from presentation?
The aim for web developers is to remove all presentation from the html code, leaving it clean and semantically correct.
- More accessible to a wider variety of devices
- Easier to make site-wide changes - one css file rather than all pages
- Smaller files/ faster download - less code on the page
- Less code on the page - easier to code
- Allows users to customise to their own needs - style switchers
- More control over code - can deliver code in preferred order for screen readers
