Cascading Style Sheets or CSS is a language used in front-end web development. It is a stylesheet language that defines the presentation of the website. While HTML or XML are markup languages that create the structure of a website, CSS is used to design the markup. It changes the font, color, or anything that has to do with the appearance of an element. It describes how the markup should look. CSS is independent of the browser.
CSS can be used to make various changes. For example, it can be used to change the background color, text color, font style, spacing between content, add animations and other personalizations. It is used to improve the visibility and usability of the website. It makes the content easier to read and understand.

Web developers use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the front end of websites. Currently, CSS3 is used in the industry. This brings with it a whole host of advantages. Developers can change the look of the content based on the type of device, geographic location, web browsers, and other factors.
