Learn CSS for designing beautiful website

What is CSS?

• • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
  •   CSS defines how HTML elements are to be displayed
  •  External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files
  •   Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a fantastic tool to add layout to your websites.
  •  CSS is a must for anyone working with web design.

   

Why you should use CSS?

• • The purpose of CSS is to provide webmasters more control over page layout and display than HTML offers. With HTML alone, there are various coding tricks that are used to help achieve the desired page layout.
  • The trouble with that is those tricks often don't work the same, if at all, in all browsers.
  • CSS standards were designed so that these tricks are no longer needed, so CSS is much more predictable and reliable than resorting to those old tricks.
  • Using a wall of your house for a loose analogy, HTML is the studding behind the wall; and CSS is the wall covering, colors, and placement of the content on the wall. In other words, when properly used, HTML defines the structure of your web page while CSS defines the appearance.
  • Aside from consistent display standards, one of the greatest benefits of using CSS is if you use external style sheets, you can make one change to the style sheet and have that change take place throughout your entire web site.
  • There will be more about that later in this tutorial.
