Site-wide changes to the "look-and-feel" of a static website
require that the webmaster visit and update each and every file
that comprises the website. Websites can typically grow to
encompass thousands of files, so this can become a non-trivial
task. The webmaster responsible for our automobile advertising
website has the additional responsibility of keeping the ads
themselves fresh. If each page in the website represents an ad
for a particular automobile, he needs to delete the pages
representing ads which have expired and create new pages for ads
which have been recently sold. He then needs to make sure that no
hyperlinks on other pages point to missing pages.

The difficulty of updating the "look-and-feel" of a site can be reduced by having each page in the site refer
to a stylesheet. Stylesheets are written in CSS(Cascading Style Sheet) and provide instructions to the
browser on how to render the page HTML. To update the "look-and-feel", the webmaster need change only the
stylesheet.
In order to allow more flexibility in styling a page, extra markup tags may be added to the HTML.
