This is totally off-topic, but how do they make the text on their webpage look so good? Is that a CSS thing?

If you're referring to the white shadow of the text, it is indeed css.

  text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px white;
Thank you for the tip. I've always wondered how to make the fonts look engraved on the page.
You can also specify more than 1 shadow. You can add a light shadow below, and a dark one above, to achieve an "embossed" effect:

  text-shadow: -1px -1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.4),  1px 1px 0px rgba(255,255,255,.4);
