Exploring 10 Sophisticated CSS Properties with Webtutor
In the ever-evolving landscape of web design, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) stands as a cornerstone for creating stunning and visually captivating websites. As a web designer or developer, having a firm grasp of CSS properties is crucial to craft unique user experiences and bring your creative vision to life. In this blog post, we will delve into advanced CSS properties that can elevate your design game to new heights. Plus, we will introduce you to WebTutor, the ultimate online platform for mastering code and unleashing your web design potential.
Flexbox (display: flex)
Gone are the days of complex float-based layouts. With the 'display: flex' property, Flexbox simplifies the way you structure layouts, align content, and distribute space within a container. Designers can create responsive and dynamic designs, making it easier to build everything from navigation bars to complete page layouts.
Grid Layout (display: grid)
For those craving even more control over layouts, the 'display: grid' property offers a powerful solution. Grid Layout divides a web page into rows and columns, allowing designers to arrange content in a grid format. This approach grants unparalleled control over alignment, spacing, and responsiveness.
CSS Variables (custom properties)
CSS Variables, also known as custom properties, enable designers to define reusable values within stylesheets. This advancement allows for easier theming, dynamic theming, and quicker updates across an entire website. By centralizing key values, designers can swiftly adjust colors, fonts, and other design elements across the site.
Transitions and Animations (transition, animation)
Creating engaging user experiences often involves smooth transitions and animations. With the 'transition' and 'animation' properties, designers can add eye-catching effects to various elements, enhancing user engagement and guiding their attention to important content.
Box Shadow (box-shadow)
Box shadows add depth and dimension to design elements, making them stand out from the page. This property enables designers to create subtle or bold shadows that can make buttons, cards, and other elements pop, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.
Background Blend Mode (background-blend-mode)
Background images can play a significant role in design aesthetics. The 'background-blend-mode' property lets designers blend background images with background colors in creative ways, resulting in captivating visual effects and unique design elements.
Transform (transform)
The 'transform' property opens up a world of possibilities for manipulating elements in 2D and 3D space. Designers can rotate, scale, skew, and translate elements to achieve striking visual effects that captivate users' attention and create a sense of interactivity.
Custom Fonts (font-face)
Typography is a cornerstone of web design, and the 'font-face' property allows designers to use custom fonts that might not be available on users' devices. This property ensures consistent typography across different platforms, enhancing the website's visual identity.
Gradients (linear-gradient, radial-gradient)
Gradients are versatile tools for adding depth and visual interest to backgrounds, buttons, and other design elements. With 'linear-gradient' and 'radial-gradient' properties, designers can experiment with color blends, creating stunning visual effects that catch the eye.
Scroll Snap (scroll-snap-type)
Enhancing user experience is paramount in modern web design. The 'scroll-snap-type' property assists in creating smoother scrolling experiences by snapping to predefined points on a page. This is particularly useful for websites with sections or galleries that need precise alignment during scrolling.

Day 1 (10-7-23)
I'm keeping it simple today. I'm restarting freeCodeCamp's responsive web design certification. I've already done a good chunk of it, including some of the projects, but I am dissatisfied with how those turned out. Additionally, it's been so long since I've coded that I just need a reminder of the basic terms and syntax.
I didn't start at the very beginning - I redid the survey project a little more recently and didn't feel I needed to do it again. Instead I worked on the CSS box model course and was pleased to find that it all came back to me pretty quickly. Learning something new can be intimidating to me as a former Gifted Kid ™ and recovering perfectionist, so it was nice to do something easy for day 1.
After a few more courses, the next project is a tribute page, and I have a really exciting idea for it! I'm trying to theme my projects to tell a story in order to make learning more exciting for my brain. I figure if I can wring some dopamine outta this damn thing while I learn, I'll want to come back for more.
It's time for dinner now though! I got some soba noodles and I am very excited to make somethin tasty with them :)

WhatsApp Clone Using HTML and CSS
What does cloning a website means?
To make a copy
Cloning a website means copying or modifying the design or script of an existing website to create a new website. Website cloning allows a designer to create a website without writing scripts from scratch.
Any website can be cloned. You are also free to integrate some additional new features while cloning your website.
Cloning a website is one of the proven methods you can use to learn web development faster. It provides basic to advanced ideas about how websites work and work, and how to integrate them.
Let’s learn how to clone a website just using HTML5 and CSS in a simple way.
Will take an example of WhatsApp Website and will clone it.
WhatsApp is a free cross-platform messaging service. iPhone and Android smartphone, Mac and Windows PC users can call or exchange text, photo, voice and video messages with anyone in the world for free, regardless of the recipient's device. WhatsApp uses Wi-Fi connections to communicate across platforms. This differs from Apple iMessage and Messages by Google, which require a cellular network and Short Message Service (SMS).
Key WhatsApp Terminology
Cross Platform
Messaging apps
End-to-end encryption
Video & Audio Calls
WhatsApp Business
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) –
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language that is standard markup language to create web pages and web-based applications
It represents the structure of a web page
It comprises of series of elements which tells the browser how to display the content
Basic Structure of a HTML Document –
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>WhatsApp Clone</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>let's learn Web Development</h1>
<p>My first project - WhatsApp Cloning</p>
</body>
</html>
Let’s Explain the above code –
- It is used to defines that the document is HTML5 document
- It is the root elements on an HTML Page
- It contains all the meta information about the HTML Page
- This element contains all the visible content of the page, such as paragraph, headlines, tables, list, etc.
- It defines the largest heading for any topic, it ranges from -
- It defines a paragraph in the HTML page
Elements –
It is the collection of start and end tag, and in between content is inserted between them.
It major components are–
Opening Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content starts.
Closing Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content material ends.
Content – Whatever written inside the opening and closing tag is content.
Some Most Commonly used tags are –
– Used to define a document or section, as it contains information related to titles and heading of related content.
– The navigation tag is used to declare navigation sections in HTML documents. Websites typically have a section dedicated to navigation links that allows users to move around the site
– Anchor tag is used for creating hyperlink on the webpage. It is used to link one web page from another.
– It is used to define a paragraph. Content written inside tag always starts from a new line.
– It is used to define heading of a web page. There are 6 different heading h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. H1 is the main heading and the biggest followed by h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6.
- It is used to group multiple elements together. It helps in applying CSS.
- Image tag is used to embed an image in a web page.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) –
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, that describes HTML elements that appear on screen, paper, or other media.
It used for designing web pages, in order to make web pages presentable.
It is standardized across Web Browsers and is one of the core languages of the open web system/technology.
CSS Selector –
CSS Selectors are used to select or target the element that you want to style. Selectors are part of the CSS ruleset. CSS selectors select HTML elements by ID, class, type, attributes, etc.
Types of CSS Selectors –
Element Selector – It selects the HTML elements directly using name
ID Selector – It selects the id attribute of an element. ID is always unique, in the code. So, it is used to target and apply design to a specific or a unique element.
Class Selector - It selects the class attribute of an element. Unlike ID selector class selectors can be same of many elements.
Universal Selector – It selects all the elements of the webpage, and apply changes to it.
Group Selector – It is used when same style is to be applied on many elements. It helps in non-duplication of code.
Different ways of applying CSS -
CSS can be applied in different ways –
Inline CSS –
Styling is done using different attributed inside an element itself. It can be used to apply unique style for a single element.
<h1 style="color:blue;">Let's learn Web Development</h1>
Internal CSS –
It is defined or written within the <style> element, nested instead <head> section of HTML document.
It is mainly used when need to apply CSS on a particular page.
<style type="text/css">
h1 {
color:blue;
}
</style>
External CSS –
It is used to apply CSS on multiple pages. As all the styling is written in a different file with an extension “.css” Example style.css.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
It is written instead head tag.

Let’s implement the above learnt concepts –
In this example will clone a static page of WhatsApp using Internal CSS-
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">

I speak 0 languages. My first language doesn't count because everyone has one of those. English doesn't count either because everyone knows English. I took Swedish for 6 years and understand some of it still but I can't form a coherent sentence so I can't count that. And all I have to show for French is the nearly 700 day streak on Duolingo with no other attempts to use the damn language so that doesn't count either.
