CSS Layout

CSS layout is easy to design. We can use CSS layout to design our web page such as home page, contact us, about us etc.

There are 3 ways to design layout of a web page:

HTML Div with CSS: fast and widely used now.
HTML Table: slow and less preferred.
HTML Frameset: deprecated now.

A CSS layout can have header, footer, left pane, right pane and body part. Let's see a simple example of CSS layout.
