Often I see people asking about how to design a web site and implement it using DotNetNuke framework while maintaining the integrity of the design. The answer I have is to start with a cleaner CSS file. As we know the team at DotNetNuke has their reasons for keeping the default.css file intact, it does not mean that it prevents you from making changes to the file yourself.

I always start with a project using my very own version of this file. Since the last release of version 4.x, I cleaned up the file and use it across many sites for both client and personal work. If you’d to see how it looks, feel free to download it here (please login if you're already a registered user, if not, go ahead and create an account) and throw it in your testing environment to replace the current one that you have. You’ll be in complete control of your design, I promise.
