CSS is not decoration. CSS controls layout, hierarchy, readability, and how users experience information.

Professional CSS is about structure, not colors.

Why CSS Still Matters

No matter how advanced frameworks become, CSS decides how content is perceived.

Phase 1: Beginner — Core Rules

• Selectors and specificity
• Box model
• Margins and padding
• Basic typography

Beginners must understand how browsers calculate layout.

Phase 2: Layout Systems

• Flexbox
• Grid
• Positioning
• Responsive units

Layout mastery separates beginners from professionals.

Phase 3: Responsive Design

• Media queries
• Mobile-first design
• Content prioritization

Responsive design is about decision-making, not screen sizes.

• Component-based styling

Professional CSS reduces complexity over time.
