If you have purchased or installed the Dreamweaver CS3 trial, then you can't have helped but be impressed by the new standards-compliant CSS starter pages. To have the ability to create CSS layouts in what amounts to no more than a few clicks is a great time-saving feature: no more bug hunting, no more hours of hair pulling. The CSS layouts are simple and easy to use and provide you with a great base from which you can create your own design style.

As easy as the CSS layouts are to work with, you may have missed one of the great features of these starter pages: the ability quickly and easily to mix and match the different layouts available into a single CSS file.
