Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a powerful stylesheet language used on the web to describe the presentation of documents written markup languages like HTML and XHTML. In modern web design, it's import to separate a document's content from its presentation, and CSS controls how documents look and are layed out.

One of the major benefits of designing with CSS is that the same style sheet(s) can be used by many different pages. This means that changes and updates to one style sheet file can propagate across an entire website instantly.
