CSS isn’t always easy to deal with. Depending on your skills and your experience, CSS coding can
sometimes become a nightmare, particularly if you aren’t sure, which selectors are actually being
applied to document elements. An easy way to minimize the complexity of the code is as useful as
not-so-well-known CSS attributes and properties you can use to create a semantically correct
markup.

We’ve taken a close look at some of the most interesting and useful CSS tricks, tips, ideas,
methods, techniques and coding solutions and listed them below. We also included some basic
techniques you can probably use in every project you are developing, but which are hard to find
once you need them.

And what has come out of it is an overview of over 70 expert tips, which can improve your
efficiency of CSS coding. You might be willing to check out the list of references and related
