Introduction to CSS

Most professionally designed web sites use CSS to format and layout web pages. However, if your only design experience is creating and maintaining your company’s web site, you are probably still working with HTML. It’s time to think about changing.

CSS works with HTML to improve the appearance of your web pages. Styles can be applied to headings, images, tables, text, or any other object on a web page. If you work with styles in Microsoft Word, the concept is basically the same.

CSS-based web sites have two major advantages over HTML-only sites. CSS lets you make global changes in the appearance of a web site without having to manually format individual pages. It also lets you have much more control over formatting like font size, spacing, background graphics, bulleted and numbered lists, etc.

This class will cover creating internal and external style sheets, the three types of CSS selectors, style inheritance, formatting text and graphics, working with margins, padding and borders, styling links and navigation bars, creating float-based layouts, and creating print style sheets.
