There are so many techniques and methods available to create a user friendly website. The first one is by using a server side routine or print stylesheets. The print version may strip out images and navigation that lose their meaning on printed page and may show page in a single column using a dissimilar font with a different size. When there is no printable version or printable version includes ads or other settings, you can use stylesheets. With CSS awareness plus some web development tools, you can easily create your own formatted print versions. The tool you may need involves Mozilla Firefox. If you don’t have it yet, you can install Chris Pederick’s Web Developer’s Toolbar.
Various techniques are utilized in order to expose grid of website, segregate element containing content you want, use CSS to format page with suitable font sizes, widths, and margins, use CSS to selectively show and hide other parts of page as you see fit and save CSS to create an immediate custom printable view.
To easily take an X-ray of site, use web developer’s toolbar. After that, use Outline Block Level Elements or Outline Table Cells to outline site’s grid then use View ID and Class Details from Miscellaneous menu.
To isolate target, set container and its descendants to be visible, and then move to top of editing area and hide everything. But before you do this, you can first change its background color, format texts, change fonts or its border properties so that you can easily identify it. Use Boxes and Arrows to do this.
