Description
The course focuses on working with content using CSS and HTML. To date, stylesheets provide great opportunities for styling text and blocks on the page: background, color, handling audio, and video. All these elements allow you to create colorful, responsive, and accessible websites for users. A lot of time here we devote to new selectors, pseudo-classes, and pseudo-elements, they allow you to style the content in an extraordinary way

There are other ways besides a monochrome background or image to style a block. To create a background, artists and designers frequently use gradients — smooth transitions from one color to another. In this lesson, we will learn how to make linear and radial gradients. We'll examine how to make clear color transitions using gradients and other techniques. We'll also learn about the color wheel and how to use it to find gradient color schemes. -
