Styling

Having set-up my HTML, it was time to add style to it via the linked, default.css document.

Here I have styled the basic HTML tags that I am using. I am using 'em' units for relative sizing, which allows users who may be vision impaired to scale the font-size correctly in all browsers.

A good article, which covers best practices and reasons behind why designers should size using 'em' is written by the W3C (standards agency) and can be found at:

The sites' body text is sans-serif, whereas the larger, more legible header is an elegant system serif.
