# Getting Started with CSS

`CSS` stands for **Cascading Style Sheets** and is responsible for the design and layout of a web page.

<br />

## Key Features of CSS

1. `Style Application`: Apply styles such as color, fonts, and margins to HTML elements, making the web page visually appealing.

2. `Selectors and Properties`: Use selectors to target specific HTML elements and define their styles with properties.

```css title="Basic Structure of CSS"
selector {
  property: value;
}
```

<br />

3. `Hierarchical Styling`: The term **Cascading** refers to the way styles can be combined from different sources, allowing multiple styles to be applied with priority.

4. `Responsive Web Design`: Implement responsive web design by using CSS media queries to adapt the layout to various devices and screen sizes.

While HTML builds the **skeleton** of a web page, CSS can be thought of as **dressing** that skeleton.

<br />

Follow the highlighted code snippets to practice.

While HTML is the language used to define the structure of a webpage, CSS is used to style and lay out that structure. In other words, CSS handles the design and layout of the webpage.
