An introduction to CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) – the language that styles HTML. If you have been building pages with HTML alone, CSS is what turns bare structure into something readable and usable.

HTML gives you the content and layout skeleton. CSS handles colours, fonts, spacing, and how things look on different screen sizes. The two work together: HTML marks up what is on the page, CSS decides how it appears.

CSS is not just decoration. It affects usability, accessibility, and performance. Responsive layouts, animations, and readable typography all depend on it.

This series starts with the basics – what CSS is and how it links to HTML – then moves on to the box model, positioning, and responsive design. By the end you should be able to style pages that look good and work well.
