In this intermediate-level course you will explore and compare three methods of applying CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) styles to HTML to visually enhance a website. While HTML provides web page content, it is CSS that can turn simple text and images into a stunning website. As you compare and practice with inline styles, internal stylesheets, and external stylesheets you will gain a better understanding of how and when to use each method, and why the word “cascading” is used to describe them.
