Exactly! Been a hell of a lot easier present different design proposals
to a client. Attaching a different stylesheet and the site instantly
changes wows them!

On a note about your site, this versions not bad, but your base font
color of grey is not contrasting enough on the blue background.

Either up the red and green rgb components to make it contrast more in
hue; or up the values in your blue to lighten it and reduce in your grey
to darken it. That would create more value contrast from the text and
the background.
