CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the code that styles web content. This article walks you through a basic understanding of CSS — how it works and how to improve the look and feel of the content structure you created in the previous article.

What is CSS?

Like HTML, CSS is not a programming language. It's not a markup language either. CSS is a style sheet language. CSS is used to style HTML elements: you select the elements you want to style and set values for their style properties, which define how they will look.

For example, the following CSS code selects all paragraph text and sets them to red.

CSS

p {
  color: red;
}
