You still need to know HTML because it is the basis of your Web site, but CSS will help you add color, design and make your Web pages look really great better than HTML can do. XHTML will help you create perfect navigation for your Web site and add in features you can't do with HTML.

CSS is just a better way of creating Web pages that look good. You can do so much more with is than you can with HTML and it works better in browsers. Once you learn how to use it you will find it almost as easy as using HTML.
