CSS is a powerful technology for customizing web pages. Not only does it allow for nearly infinite variety in appearance, but it results in smaller, faster loading pages which conform to the original intent of HTML: that pages have an internal structure based on content, not on appearance. As a result, pages are simpler and more accessible. CSS allows the following websites to use essentially the same pages, and yet produce very different looking sites.

Micheline Brierre is an artist and jewelery designer in Colorado. Her site was styled to reflect the bold, warm colors that inspire her work.
Barry Kaplan is a Colorado photographer. His site was styled to provide quiet elegance and a neutral backdrop for his images.
Wildflowers of Guffey is a simple site I designed to showcase our local wildflowers. It's a good example of a non-commercial application of the system.
Rita's Place and Caldera Gallery illustrates how the Artist Management System can be easily adapted to a commercial gallery featuring many individual artists.

As an example of design possibilities, here are some sites that I designed which don't use the Artist Management System.

Guffey Community Charter School is the site for a school where I mentor science. It was designed for simple navigation and a slightly retro school look.
Cloudbait Observatory is where I report on my astronomy projects. Its design goal was to provide quick access to a wide range of information. There are hundreds of individual pages on the site.
Louise Peterson, Sculptor is my wife's gallery site, featuring her sculpture. The site needed to be very attractive, and also to highlight her work without competing with it.
