CSS basics – What is CSS?
CSS stands for cascading style sheets, which combine with HTML to define how things will look on the user’s browser. Generally speaking, HTML is used to format a webpage and CSS can be used in conjunction with HTML to add colors, styles, images etc. where styles mean how things would look.
With that said, you can still use only HTML without CSS, but CSS will make things a lot easier and simpler.
The HTML will format the page, where the header will go, where the footer will go and what part of the text paragraph, what part of the text heading, ect. The CSS will come in and tell the HTML paragraph to be blue, or give it a background color, tell the text heading to be this color, size and so forth.
Those are some of things CSS can do and much more. CSS can also take over a lot of the formatting of HTML.
