What is CSS?

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to style and layout web pages. It controls colors, fonts, spacing, positioning, animations, and responsive design. CSS works alongside HTML to transform plain content into visually appealing websites.

How Does CSS Work?

CSS uses selectors to target HTML elements and properties to define their appearance. It follows a cascading model where styles can be inherited, overridden, and combined based on specificity rules. Modern CSS includes powerful features like Flexbox and Grid for layouts, custom properties (variables), media queries for responsive design, and animations.

CSS can be written inline, in a <style> tag, or in external .css files. Best practice is to use external stylesheets for maintainability and caching. CSS frameworks like Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, and Bulma provide pre-built utility classes and components that speed up development. CSS preprocessors like Sass add features like nesting and mixins.
