About

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a technical specification from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative that defines how to improve the accessibility of web content and applications, particularly those with dynamic interfaces and custom controls.

It provides a set of roles and properties that can be added to HTML to describe user interface elements, their relationships, and current states, enabling assistive technologies such as screen readers to interpret widgets, live updates, and complex interactions that are not natively accessible.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of HTML and XML documents, defining layout, colors, typography, and responsive behavior across different devices.

It uses a cascading and specificity model to resolve style conflicts, supports reusable rules and selectors, and includes layout systems such as Flexbox and Grid, media queries for responsive design, and features for animations, transformations, and advanced text formatting.
