Just like our markup, the CSS will also have a very basic framework. Here’s the code for our main.css file:
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
/***** Global *****/
/* Body */
body {
background: #F5F4EF url('../images/bg.png');
color: #000305;
font-size: 87.5%; /* Base font size: 14px */
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.429;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
}
/* Headings */
h2 {font-size: 1.571em} /* 22px */
h3 {font-size: 1.429em} /* 20px */
h4 {font-size: 1.286em} /* 18px */
h5 {font-size: 1.143em} /* 16px */
h6 {font-size: 1em} /* 14px */
h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-weight: 400;
line-height: 1.1;
margin-bottom: .8em;
}
/* Anchors */
a {outline: 0;}
a img {border: 0px; text-decoration: none;}
a:link, a:visited {
color: #C74350;
padding: 0 1px;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover, a:active {
background-color: #C74350;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #333;
}
/* Paragraphs */
p {margin-bottom: 1.143em;}
* p:last-child {margin-bottom: 0;}
strong, b {font-weight: bold;}
em, i {font-style: italic;}
::-moz-selection {background: #F6CF74; color: #fff;}
::selection {background: #F6CF74; color: #fff;}
/* Lists */
ul {
list-style: outside disc;
margin: 1em 0 1.5em 1.5em;
}
ol {
list-style: outside decimal;
margin: 1em 0 1.5em 1.5em;
}
dl {margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;}
dt {font-weight: bold;}
dd {margin-left: 1.5em;}
/* Quotes */
blockquote {font-style: italic;}
cite {}
q {}
/* Tables */
table {margin: .5em auto 1.5em auto; width: 98%;}
/* Thead */
thead th {padding: .5em .4em; text-align: left;}
thead td {}
/* Tbody */
tbody td {padding: .5em .4em;}
tbody th {}
tbody .alt td {}
tbody .alt th {}
/* Tfoot */
tfoot th {}
tfoot td {}
Header styling
We’ll begin with our header. This one is fairly easy. We just want a couple of spacing and a few text styling here and there. Nothing we haven’t done before.
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
/*
Header
*****************/
#banner {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 2.5em 0 0 0;
}
/* Banner */
#banner h1 {font-size: 3.571em; line-height: .6;}
#banner h1 a:link, #banner h1 a:visited {
color: #000305;
display: block;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 0 .6em .2em;
text-decoration: none;
width: 427px;
}
#banner h1 a:hover, #banner h1 a:active {
background: none;
color: #C74350;
text-shadow: none;
}
#banner h1 strong {font-size: 0.36em; font-weight: normal;}
/* Main Nav */
#banner nav {
background: #000305;
font-size: 1.143em;
height: 40px;
line-height: 30px;
margin: 0 auto 2em auto;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 800px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
}
#banner nav ul {list-style: none; margin: 0 auto; width: 800px;}
#banner nav li {float: left; display: inline; margin: 0;}
#banner nav a:link, #banner nav a:visited {
color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
height: 30px;
padding: 5px 1.5em;
text-decoration: none;
}
#banner nav a:hover, #banner nav a:active,
#banner nav .active a:link, #banner nav .active a:visited {
background: #C74451;
color: #fff;
text-shadow: none !important;
}
#banner nav li:first-child a {
border-top-left-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
}
Footer Styling
As other examples above, this has just basic styling here and there. Besides the border-radius property.
/*About *****************/
#about {
background: #fff;
font-style: normal;
margin-bottom: 2em;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
text-align: left;
width: 760px;
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
}
#about .primary {float: left; width: 165px;}
#about .primary strong {color: #C64350; display: block; font-size: 1.286em;}
#about .photo {float: left; margin: 5px 20px;}
#about .url:link, #about .url:visited {text-decoration: none;}
#about .bio {float: right; width: 500px;}
/*
