CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to style and design webpages. While HTML provides the structure, CSS brings your site to life with colors, layouts, and fonts. If you’re new to web development, learning CSS is the next step after mastering HTML.

🔹 What is CSS?

1. A stylesheet language used to control the look and feel of webpages.
2. Works alongside HTML to separate content from design.
3. Makes websites visually appealing and user-friendly.

🔹 Why Learn CSS?

1. Allows you to customize fonts, colors, and layouts.
2. Helps create responsive designs that work on all devices.
3. Essential for modern web development.

🔹 Basic CSS Syntax

CSS uses selectors to target HTML elements and applies styles to them.

Example:

This code makes all <p> elements blue with a font size of 16px.

🔹 Ways to Add CSS

1. Inline CSS – Styles applied directly inside an HTML tag.

1. Internal CSS – Styles written inside a <style> tag in the HTML file.

1. External CSS – Styles written in a separate .css file and linked to the HTML.

🔹 Best Practices

1. Use external CSS for cleaner code and easier maintenance.
2. Keep styles consistent across your site.
3. Learn about classes and IDs for more precise styling.

By mastering CSS, you’ll be able to transform plain HTML pages into beautiful, professional websites.
