    CSS definitely better as you can minimize the coding by and also HTML static is kind of less user friendly (stagnant site). Static HTML can be annoying as well when visitors navigate from 1 page to another usually you have to open up new browser tab or complete new browser window

    css rich site is more better than html site due to tags and style sheets

    definitely go for CSS. Styling can easily be added to other pages if they are used, additionally its easy to roll out a different stylesheet and create themes (for example an xmas theme or a easter theme whatever your in the mood for)

    Theres alot of advantages to a CSS that just isnt in basic html, though of course you need to use both to be successful.

    I agree with using php as well, often, using php to include common things such as footer or parts of your header, or navigation links can reduce site maintenance.

    HTML + CSS is the way to go. You can do so much more by using css together with html then just using html. You can just define divs and their ID's in html and add content then you can manipulate the divs and their content anyway you like with css. TBH i couldnt imagine doing a site with just html.

    first i would say get ur concept clear of making a website

    with html u can add contents to a webpage or website
    with css u can add styles or design to ur page like adding images,background colors,text style, font style,color etc.
    with javascript u can add interactivity(client side) to ur webpage like drop down menu or form validation etc
    with php u can add interactivity(server side) form validation ,registartion forum,cms and many more etc

    so in brief u need to know all 4 in order to be a total webdesigner

    Erm even if you use CSS its still a static site you know?

    As for the question yes any website made after 1999 should be using CSS, it makes life so much easier when you want to make styling updates. It also massively reduces the amount of code needed to produce the same output when used correctly, which helps reduce load times.

    HTML and CSS is the base level anybody making static web pages/site should have under their belt, these days though to be honest that's just not enough unless your only just starting out.

    Client side programming language such as Javascript for adding interactivity to your site and a server side language such as PHP is also an absolute must these days, as this gives the ability to run database driven websites and other useful programming methods used in web development.

    Hello this is 2012 people!!!

    According to me both HTML and CSS are very good for website development but in case of HTML Table, Css is better than HTML tables. There are some advantages of css over the html table like they load pages faster, easily accessible and seo friendly and also improve the bandwidth efficiency.

    Simple HTML is if you don't know any better. You can make two identical sites, just the one with the CSS being a hell of a lot more efficient

    Using CSS is more worth instead of simple HTML.

    html is required, but you need A LOT OF CSS!
    then your content will look presentable
    also, javacript could really help, but that takes time to learn

    Html and Css

    html is to make the order of the page... something like the skeleton.

    Css is to place the details.
