.container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
  }

3. CSS Custom Properties (Variables)

we can store and reuse values across our stylesheets by using custom properties. This makes it easier to keep track of pre-defined styles and apply them as needed. You may easily add adjustments using CSS custom properties.

:root {
    --main-color: #007bff;
  }
  
  .button {
    background-color: var(--main-color);
  }

4. CSS Transitions

Using CSS transitions, you may gradually modify the value of a property over a specified time.

5. CSS Media Queries

A CSS property called media query is used to make responsive web pages. It modifies the website’s content to fit the screen size. Media queries facilitate the development of responsive websites.

@media (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 800px) {
  body {
    background-image: url('https://img.freepik.com/free-photo/beautiful-view-greenery-bridge-forest-perfect-background_181624-17827.jpg?w=2000')
