CSS Introduction

What is CSS?

• CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.
• CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media.
• CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.
• External stylesheets are stored in CSS files.

Why Use CSS?

CSS is used to define styles for your web pages, including the design, layout, and variations in display for different devices and screen sizes. Before CSS, all styling had to be included directly in the HTML markup, which was cumbersome and made maintenance very difficult.

CSS Example

body {
  background-color: lightblue;
}

h1 {
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
}

p {
  font-family: verdana;
  font-size: 20px;
}
