CSS
« Back to Glossary IndexCSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to control the visual presentation and layout of web pages. It defines how HTML elements are displayed, including aspects such as colours, fonts, spacing, positioning, and responsiveness across different screen sizes.
CSS works by applying rules to HTML elements using selectors, and the term “cascading” refers to how styles are prioritised and combined based on specificity, inheritance, and source order. This allows developers to separate content (HTML) from design (CSS), enabling consistent styling, easier maintenance, and scalable user interface design.
