Website in CSS — How CSS Styles a Website
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to style and layout webpages. It controls everything from colors, fonts, and spacing to complex layouts and animations.
How CSS Works on a Website
HTML structures the content (text, images, links).
CSS styles that content: sets colors, sizes, positioning, responsiveness, and more.
CSS files are linked or embedded in HTML pages.
Basic CSS Structure for a Website
Example CSS for a simple webpage:
/* Global styles */body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333;}/* Header */header { background-color: #007bff; color: white; padding: 20px; text-align: center;}/* Navigation bar */nav { background-color: #333;}nav a { color: white; padding: 14px 20px; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none;}nav a:hover { background-color: #555;}/* Main content area */main { padding: 20px;}/* Footer */footer { background-color: #222; color: white; text-align: center; padding: 10px; position: fixed; width: 100%; bottom: 0;}How to Link CSS to Your Website
