For most websites, the main goal is to turn the usual web-surfer into a client, or at least get them to read the site's content. This can be quite saddening for some as a website can be so functional and informative, yet still overlooked. So, how can you make a surfer stay on your website? Capture his attention of course! However, considering today's fast paced society, the first few seconds a surfer spends on your site could be your only chance to do so. This is where CSS comes in.

If you want to try making this with CSS, continue reading.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are incredible. To state it simply, they make your site look beautiful by defining how things should look. You don't have to be an IT expert to know this. If you were into Friendster before, you'd be familiar with CSS. Well, if you ever bothered changing your layout that is. I'm saying this because, embarrassing as it may, that's where I first encountered CSS and I honestly thought it was beautiful. It was only in college though that I fully understood its concept. All IT experts probably know this but I'll put in a short explanation for those who don't. Basically, you use CSS with HTML (HyperText Markup Language). It's like HTML is the content while CSS is the presentation of a document. Simple as that. But, it doesn't stop with just changing fonts, colors, alignments, and etc. As CSS standards continue to evolve, it gives more opportunities for web designers to revolutionize how websites look, such as with the animations given by CSS3.
So that you'll know what I'm talking about, try out the codes from the link below.
Did you try it?
If you have, I hope you were able to understand what I meant by "beautiful CSS".
