Web Presentation

The presentation of your website includes everything about how your site and its content are presented to the audience.

You have tremendous control over textual content such as font type, color, size, emphasis, as well as line and character attributes including, line height, word/letter spacing, and alignment

You also have the power to control the look and layout of whole blocks of content:

Positioning and alignment - both relational and absolute
Background color and styling
Borders
Width and height dimensions - fixed or percentage

Presentation of your website is almost always accomplished using the CSS coding language, which is the unanimous presentational language choice to date.

When you browse around, note that it is the exact same site, containing the exact same content. All that changes is the CSS file.
