When you open any website — whether it’s a sleek portfolio, an e-commerce store, or your favorite social media app — you’re witnessing the magic of CSS at work. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the language that brings life, color, layout, and animation to the web. Without it, all web pages would look like plain black text on a white background. Boring, right?
In this blog post, we’ll walk through the fundamentals of CSS, how it works, and why it’s essential for modern web development.
What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It describes how HTML elements should be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media.
It allows developers and designers to:
- Change text color, size, and font
- Position elements on a page
- Add animations and transitions
- Make web pages responsive and visually engaging
