Styling Elements with CSS

CSS allows you to customize the appearance of your website, from colors and fonts to sizes and positions of different elements. For additional information on CSS styling options, refer to the MDN CSS reference docs.

Add CSS to your site

Use inner classes to style specific elements of a component class. For example, use .button__label to style only the labels of button elements.
