Why is this important?

The fact that we use cascading style sheets is important to you because it means that we can make rapid changes to the look and feel of your website. We can change the formatting or colors of an entire site almost instantly. Style sheets save you costs in prototyping during initial design, plus site redesign becomes much simpler as the needs of your site change.

Style sheets also let your visitors customize the view of your site for themselves, a feature that provides more accessibility for more people. Many browsers let visitors substitute their own style sheets for those supplied by Web designers. They can't do this successfully when formatting is embedded in Web pages.
