CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to control the visual presentation of web pages. It defines how HTML elements appear, including layout, colors, fonts, spacing, and responsiveness.
In web development, CSS separates design from structure, allowing developers to style websites efficiently and maintain consistent layouts across multiple pages. It is essential for creating modern, responsive, and user-friendly interfaces.
For example:
- A website uses CSS to change text color, background, and font style.
- A responsive layout adjusts automatically for mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.
- Navigation menus are styled using CSS for a better user experience.
- Animations and transitions are created to improve visual interaction.
