The foundation for building Nicholls websites comes from code created in HTML and CSS. Most of the really complex code is used to create the page view layout and elements, but some of the code can be used to create structure inside of the pages. These notes are for Nicholls website creators that are creating websites based on the templates and code developed by the Nicholls Website Manager.
