CSS Style Properties
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes and defines how should the elements be displayed in a web page. These stylesheets change the layout of your HTML pages. Using CSS we could create multiple styles in one HTML page.
Initially HTML was designed only to display contents of the page without any inbuilt formatting tags. Later in HTML 3.2 some formatting tags such as and other attributes were added. But while creating large websites using HTML formatting tags in every single page of the website was a hectic, long and expensive task for the web developers.
The introduction of CSS styles made life easy for web developers where CSS removed the style formatting from the HTML page. CSS controlled the layout of multiple web pages all at once. The style definitions are saved in external .css files. By changing just one such external stylesheet file, you could change the look and feel of an entire website. CSS defines the styles for your web pages such as design, layout and dynamic display for various devices and screens.
