Now that I’m close to finishing the design on my eCommerce site, I guess I’m getting a case of eCommerce Angst.

I mean, if multi-million dollar companies are using fixed width designs instead of flexible designs, what do they know that I don’t? It’s not like they’re worried about browser compatibility–I cannot even access many such sites on my older computers that still have older, 640×480 resolution monitors! My design is flexible, and should work on older computers (works on my 12 year old computer) as well as newer machines.

It’s a real head scratcher.

At any rate, I’ve done more work on my site today, including completing the stylesheet, which may still be subject to change! While I’ve been coding the site, I’ve just been defining styles internally. But, today I moved to an external stylesheet and recoded to reflect that. This way, I’ll be able to make changes across all the completed pages more easily. Assuming, of course, that such changes would be covered in the stylesheet!

I don’t have what I would consider to be a complete CSS layout, but it’s moving in that direction. Someday, probably. For now, I just need to get the site done! So, I’m using CSS where it’s most needed, and can always come back later and tweak the site some more if need be. The most likely case will be that I won’t touch the design of the site again until it becomes a necessity again!
