The CSS Zen Garden

8th May 2003

This is something we’ve needed for a long time. The CSS Zen Garden demonstrates CSS as used by graphic designers, and is a truly beautiful sight to behold. It currently showcases 5 radically different designs all using exactly the same markup, and invites further contributions from other designers. Finally, a proper demonstration that standards compliant, accessible, CSS driven web sites do not have to be boring or ugly.
