This version of my website was designed to be fast loading. It was optimized with the use of Cascading Style Sheets to keep repetitive formatting commands in one file so that each webpage could simply refer to it. The main advantage of using stylesheets is that it separates a web page's content from the presentation formatting. It also makes it easier to change the websites colors, text fonts and size.

Stylesheets also allow me to create rounded edge boxes without the use of graphic image files, so that we can still have a nice looking website without the extra download time for the graphics.

I added additional navigation links to take you back to the top and the navigation menu at the end of each information block. With a handy Javascript function, I also included a Back button which works just like your browser's back button.

The Contact form uses a PHP script to send the message and to perform basic user input validation

I have another version of this website that uses gradient boxes. While it does make the pages look nicer, it does take slightly more time to download these web pages because of the additional images. I design an optimized table layout using small slivers of the images necessary to render the gradient boxes.
