Styling with CSS: Enhancing Web Aesthetics

Introduction to CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language that brings style to your web pages. It controls layout, colors, fonts, and much more!

Basic CSS Syntax

CSS rules consist of selectors and declarations. For example:

/* Selects all paragraph elements */
p {
  color: blue;
  font-size: 16px;
}
        

Selectors & The Box Model

Selectors help target HTML elements, and the box model explains how elements are rendered:

.box {
  width: 300px;
  padding: 20px;
  border: 5px solid #333;
  margin: 15px;
}
        

Flexbox & Responsive Design

Flexbox is a powerful tool for aligning content. Combine it with media queries for responsive layouts:

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}
@media (max-width: 600px) {
  .container {
    flex-direction: column;
  }
}
        

Conclusion

CSS gives your website personality and structure. With practice, you’ll create visually stunning and responsive designs!
