What is CSS?
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language that defines the visual appearance of web pages. While HTML defines the structure of a page, CSS determines its presentation – colors, fonts, distances and layout.

- Styling of the elementsColors, fonts and distances can be specified specifically, for example for backgrounds or headings.
- Layout management: With techniques such as Flexbox and Grid, elements can be arranged and positioned in a structured manner.
- Responsive design: CSS enables the display to be adapted to different screen sizes, such as smartphones, tablets and desktops.
- Animations and effectsTransitions, hover effects and dynamic elements can be implemented with CSS.
Why It Matters
CSS is a fundamental part of web development and necessary to give content a consistent and engaging look – regardless of the scale or complexity of the project.
