XHTML

The Extensible HyperText Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax.

The need for a reformulated version of HTML was felt primarily because World Wide Web content now needs to be delivered to many devices (like mobile devices) apart from traditional computers, where extra resources cannot be devoted to support the additional complexity of HTML syntax. In practice, however, HTML supporting browsers for constrained devices have emerged faster than XHTML support has been added to the desktop browser with the largest market share.

Depending on your Web site's demands, all your pages will validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional, Strict or XHTML 1.1. Your Web site will render the same in all screen resolutions and browser types and accessible cross platform.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

CSS is used by both the authors and readers of web pages to define colors, fonts, layout, and other aspects of document presentation. It is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation (written in CSS). This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentational characteristics, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content. CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on braille-based, tactile devices. Similarly, identical HTML or XML markup can be displayed in a variety of styles, liveries or color schemes by using different CSS.
