Im currently making my website using css. I put all the css for each page in a separate style sheet e.g. index.html has index.css, contact.html has contact.css ect. Is this the correct way to do it? I read somewhere that all css should be put into one style sheet for quicker loading, but my site is quite big and there’s alot of css code.

Also, should I put the css for the header and footer in one separate style sheet this way I can edit in the future with out having to edit each individual style page.

Hope I explained this ok

Thank you

It all comes down to personal preference.

As a rule, I have:

styles.css <-- layout and fonts etc
print.css <-- styling for when the page is printed
ie.css <-- Any IE specific styles
forms.css <-- Style specific to the contact forms. Only needs to be called on the one page (usually contact)

In addition to that, i have a global.css which is for basic styling and layout that occurs on every page, and then a page/section specific style sheet for each individual section.
