CSS Introduction

Cascading Style Sheets

Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, allows you to control the way your web pages look without having to go through and change the html in the pages themselves. With CSS you can:


  • Control how HTML elements are styled and displayed
  • Make site-wide changes from one file
  • Define style rules you can apply to any element you wish

CSS is easy to learn and understand. Once you have the basic pattern down you will have no problem understanding how to apply it in a practical manner.

Before beginning with CSS you should understand how to use HTML. For a refresher on HTML visit our HTML Tutorials
