CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It's a language used for describing the presentation of a document written in HTML or XML, including colors, layouts, and fonts. It allows web designers to control the appearance of web pages and ensure consistent styling across multiple pages or even entire websites.
Cascading style sheets or CSS is an essential technology used in the development of a website and it contributes greatly to what we see at face value or first glance of the website. CSS (introduced in the late 1990s) has become a necessary element of designers’ and developers’ work. This helps them regulate how the web documents look, appear and their layout as well as ensure a uniform and attractive interface for the users irrespective of the device or browser used. The primary function of CSS is to allow separation of the layout (HTML) and formatting (CSS) on a webpage while working concurrently with HTML. Such a separation improves the sustainability, adaptability, and extendibility of web implementations.
