What is CSS?
The language that controls how websites look, including colours, fonts, spacing, and layout
Why It Matters
CSS is what makes websites visually appealing and ensures they look good on different screen sizes
Real-World Example
CSS determines that a button is blue, has rounded corners, and changes colour when you hover over it
“Understanding terms like CSS matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
From definition to deployment
Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
