CSS Fundamentals
HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) work hand in hand to construct and display accessible, searchable, and flexible web pages. CSS is a versatile web design tool that lets you customize the layout of your web pages. Without CSS, the appearance of your pages, including the fonts, sizes, colors, placement, and spacing is determined by the web browser. This course enables you to embrace your creativity and produce striking and adaptable web designs that are limited only by your imagination. Course taught by an expert Computer Coding Instructor.
