What is css?

• CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet
• CSS is a language for specifying how documents (i.e. web pages) are presented to users
• CSS is used for describing the presentation of a HTML page
• While HTML is used to structure a page, CSS comes controls page styling - layouts, colors, and fonts etc.

Why CSS?

• Simplify the process of making web pages presentable
• HTML deals with skeleton while CSS handles the look and feel part of a web page
• It provides powerful control over the presentation of HTML document
• The separation of HTML from CSS makes it easier to maintain sites, share style sheets across pages, and tailor pages to different environments
