What is CSS?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.

You use CSS in conjunction with HTML pages to format web pages. In early web development, HTML was used to display the content as well as the layout and style of the web page.

Similar to Adobe Indesign and Microsoft Word and Publisher styles, CSS is related specifically to the layout and design component of the web page (not the content).

With the introduction of CSS, we have been able to separate the content from the layout and style. So that if you want to change a particular style, it is much easier.

For example - if you wanted all your heading 1 (h1) styles to be green one week and red the next, prior to CSS you would have had to edit each page and each instance of the h1 style. With CSS you just change it in the CSS style sheet and it updates each instance for you!

The W3Schools website has a tutorial on CSS for more information.
