Style sheets are useful in web site development because it
allows a designer to consolidate the rules required to style a web
site into one place and one document. This will ultimately save the
designer time. If the designer decides to change a style on the
site, they only have to look in one document and one place to make
the change and the change will take effect immediately.
Furthermore, style sheets separate the rules that are purely for
presentation from the content, which allows you to write leaner
code.
