Except that's not a valid HTML document ;)
But yeah, it's all down to your audience. If you think design is 'eye-candy'
you'd be mistaken - it's about presentation appropriate to a task or audience.
It's possible to produce attractive websites that work well in all the four
main rendering engines (IE Windows, Opera, Gecko and Safari/KHTML) without
needing to resort to hacks.
First thing first, make sure you include your CSS files as follows:-
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url("/foo.css");
</style>
Of course, before writing *any* CSS, you be making sure your website is marked
up correctly, in a semantic fashion, with logical page flow and valid markup.
