Css is great, as it's a real challenge. All software controlling styling does it in many different ways, But the css being used in principle is the same.

A good start is to understand where each element of css is controlling what, then you can design away to your hearts content.

Understand this and then it's down to making it browser compatible, then valid csss, and so on.

Go on try it, it's a great challenge, and lately I think is becoming easier to control css, it's just the various software developers that will make it very difficult to find where and what's going on there's the challenge for you. X-cart is a prime example, but I have learnt there really isn't that much to x-cart css once you crack what's controlling what. The buttons are the worse css I have ever seen.


As to your question, we all use diffrent software for css, etc, most of us will use a combination of aids. Notepad, and Dreamweaver is top of my list, but I use many others. It's down to personal taste etc.

I'm waffling on now.
Good Luck
