Week 9: Page-Specific CSS & Responsive Web Design

Intro to this Week

This week we look at how to use CSS selectors to address elements only on specific pages. While we’ve spent a lot of time on CSS and how to pick the right selectors, this refines that process further and can be very useful as you build more websites. We’re also starting to look at Responsive Web Design (RWD) – the process where webpages adjust their layout based on the user’s current browser window size (or device screen in the case of mobile devices).
