What You Are Adding

Backgrounds can help separate parts of a page, but they should not make text harder to read. Start with background colours before using background images. If you use an image, make sure the text still has enough contrast.

CSS To Add To css/style.css

Add or adapt this CSS in the stylesheet you created in Tutorial 1. Keep the HTML structure from Tutorial 1 and use CSS to improve the presentation.

body {
    background-color: #f3f7ff;
}

.hero {
    padding: 40px;
    background-color: #e8f8f0;
    border-radius: 8px;
}

Build It Yourself

1. Open the same unit-6-website folder from Tutorial 1.
2. Add or update the relevant HTML class names if this page uses classes.
3. Add the CSS shown above to css/style.css.
4. Save the stylesheet and refresh the website in the browser.
5. Compare your page with the expected output preview.

Common Mistakes

• Editing the HTML page but forgetting to save css/style.css.
• Using a different class name in HTML and CSS.
• Adding lots of one-off styles instead of reusing clear selectors.

Success Checklist

• The CSS has been added to css/style.css.
• The page still uses the Tutorial 1 HTML structure.
• The result is close to the expected output preview.
• The page remains readable and easy to use.
