Title: Using WP Without CSS? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Using WP Without CSS? * [mutt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mutt/) * (@mutt) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/) * Hi, I’m going to download WordPress but I’m really not comfortable with using CSS to handle the total design of a site – I use CSS when I design for some things but I am still an old school guy. Am I going to have trouble fitting WP into a table based layout? Anybody have any samples of sites done without CSS that I can look at?

Plus you can take advantage of a lot of templates created by folks throughout the WP world. [CommunityMX](http://communitymx.com) has a lot of free and inexpensive articles and tutorials on CSS, and that’s just one of many sites available to you. I found CSS to be a bit of a steep learning curve at first, but after a while the basics stuck and I was off to the races. I have plenty still to learn, but certainly I know enough to get myself into lots of “trouble” :). Have fun with your site. * [Brak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brak/) * (@brak) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-103903) * If you are comfortable with PHP, it should be no problem. If you’re proficient in either PHP or CSS, no problem. Neither, you’ve got issues. * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-103905) * CSS has changed my life. I used to not able to create a webpage without using Frontpage or Adobe GoLive. I didn’t get how people use table to layout the page, so I just dragged and dropped and relied the programs to generate the code for me. But, then again CSS changed everything. I felt natural, intuitive, the first time I dove into it. As a matter of fact, I’m addicted to CSS lately. Everyday I draw on a piece of paper all possibe layouts and I know I could count on CSS to realize it to a webpage. Again, CSS is the way to go. For me, for you, for everybody. Take my words on it. * [Brak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brak/) * (@brak) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-103906) * I wholeheartedly agree. I used CSS before anyone was, and hell – I didn’t even know what I was doing really. It just made more sense to me than tables. I learned tables after I learned CSS (We’re talking back in ’97 or so). It’d probably be worth your while to learn it. Just a matter of opinion of course. * [coolger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolger/) * (@coolger) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-103907) * CutePHP is what you are finding. [http://cutephp.com/](http://cutephp.com/) It’s style is based on tables. You can try it. * [benblei](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benblei/) * (@benblei) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-104070) * CSS & Web standards are going to revolutionize the web. If you don’t learn CSS, you’ll be lost. ESPN.com and ABCNews.com have already converted to standards compliant pages with CSS as their primary source of styling. * [renegrass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renegrass/) * (@renegrass) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-104094) * Use what you like, but beware of the disadvantages of [font] and HTML colors. CSS is easier to maintain, to modify…. But who cares, use what you like! 🙂 It you choice to follow the dark path of the force Luke,… ohhh wrong movie! 😉 $ 0.2 Rene * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-104102) * or the one who must not be named. 😐 on second thoughts, the new firefox disabled my caramel skin yet again. and people ask why i like opera… Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Using WP Without CSS?’ is closed to new replies. * 10 replies * 9 participants * Last reply from: [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * Last activity: [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-wp-without-css/#post-104102) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
