Welcome amigos to the world of web design and development! If you’re starting your journey into creating beautiful and responsive websites, understanding CSS is important. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the language used to style the visual presentation of web pages. It allows you to control the layout, colors, fonts, and overall look and feel of your precious website, making your boring HTML structures come alive with style.
WHAT IS CSS?
As mentioned above, CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML or XML (including different XML languages like SVG or XHTML). CSS describes how elements should be rendered on screen, on paper, or in other media.
WHY USE CSS?
There are many reasons to use CSS, such as:
- Separation of Content from Presentation: CSS facilitates the separation of document content (written in HTML) from document presentation (written in CSS). This separation improves content accessibility, provides more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enables multiple web pages to share formatting, and even reduces complexity and repetition in the structural content.
