CSS

Introduction

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a styling language used to describe the appearance of HTML elements on a web page. It controls colors, fonts, spacing, layout, animations, and overall visual presentation. With CSS, developers can separate content (HTML) from design (CSS), making websites more maintainable and scalable.


Key Benefits of CSS:

  • Separation of Concerns: Keeps HTML clean and focused on structure.

  • Reusable Styles: One stylesheet can style multiple pages.

  • Responsive Design: Helps websites adapt to different screen sizes.

  • Animations & Effects: Enables transitions, transforms, hover effects, etc.


Example:

<p class="highlight">This is styled with CSS!</p>
.highlight {
  color: #ff3366;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: bold;
}
