CSS
Stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is utilized in website design. CSS is used to establish visual parameters for coded elements of a website that are written in other coding languages, such as HTML or XML. Stated more plainly, CSS primarily relates to how your website looks. Many of the layout and graphical elements on sites are designed using CSS parameters.
