There comes a time, unfortunately, when the web site is built. It has been completed and the client/manager/boss has signed off on it. This feels like the end of a long arduous journey that has lead through the depths of your soul as a developer. It’s done. Completed. Finished. Right? Not so fast! The journey is not nearly complete, it is so very, very, VERY far from over. Now comes the maintenance, upkeep, management of the site. How can we make this part of the life cycle less painful? Proper prior preparation prevents poor performance.
One area that can cause plenty of angst is the site’s style sheet(s). Riddled throughout the site’s code are all these tags for class=”" and id=”". What can we do to make these more manageable? How do I find what I’m looking for once I open that .css file, scroll to the bottom and learn that it is 400+ lines of code? This article addresses some ideas for organizing CSS files.
