The Rise of CSS3 (1999–2010s)

Work on CSS3 started in 1999, but it was developed in separate modules instead of one large specification. This modular approach made it easier to introduce new features step by step.

CSS3 brought a revolution in web design by introducing features like:

  • Rounded corners (border-radius)
  • Shadows (box-shadow, text-shadow)
  • Animations and transitions
  • Gradients
  • Flexbox for layout
  • Media queries for responsive design

These features eliminated the need for many images and JavaScript tricks, making websites faster and more visually appealing.
