CSS
CSS is the language used to style an HTML document. It is useful to know a bit of CSS if you need to change the way components in the GOV.UK Design System look.
The Prototype Kit uses Sass, which adds extra features to CSS. Though it is useful to at least be aware of Sass, the kit will accept standard CSS styles and syntax.
Resources
- Codecademy - Learn CSS

- W3Schools - Sass introduction
- GOV.UK Prototype Kit - Adding styles
Should I use Codecademy or W3Schools?
We feature resources from both of these platforms. You shouldn't have to do both and will probably quickly work out which you prefer:
- Codecademy: easy to follow interactive courses, available upon registration. More advanced resources are available at a cost.
- W3Schools: easy to follow interactive guides, but in a different less modern style.
Where no free resources are available on Codecademy or W3Schools, we've identified alternative ones or provided the relevant information directly.
There are some other great platforms for tutorials if you are willing to pay: Treehouse for example.
Feel free to recommend other resources.
