It’s important to know how to change the basic rules of CSS using Dreamweaver, such as font, color, and spacing.
The first element I would recommend adding to your CSS stylesheet is a font typeface. You’ll want to differentiate the font for your heading, subheadings, and body text. There are different ways to approach this, you can play around with the size and color of your typeface, add bold or italics, or even add different fonts. You’ll want to create a selector and under the Properties panel and find the Text section.
To increase or decrease the space between elements you can use margins and padding. Margins increase the space between elements and padding adds space within one element, increasing the boundaries.
Lastly, to change color, you’ll head to either background, border, or text, depending on which element you want to change. You can use the color wheel or hex codes to create colors. You can also save colors as a swatch for future use.
With all this new information, you should be able to customize the basic elements of your website. Tune it to learn about layouts in the next lesson!
