What is CSS ?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. In simple words, it is a styling language that defines the appearance of web pages. Using this, you can control all the fonts, text, colors, backgrounds, margins, and layouts of a website and make the website look professional.

Moreover, if your website needs animation and effects, it helps you with those too. You can use animations like spinners or loaders, animated backgrounds, and click-button effects. In short, it allows you to enhance the aesthetic look of your web pages.
