You do not need to concern yourself with its functionality. Notes: - Keep in mind as you code your pages the client wants the ability to easily brand the site with new colors, headers, and footers. Your site must have the ability to be skinned easily. HTML/CSS Guidelines Your HTML should be structured so that there is a common structure for each page with common headers and footers.
