Playing With the Edges: CSS and Curves

3157 Users read it.

The problem with a great many CSS-based designs, is that they tend to look very blocky. Mainly due to the inbuilt box model and border controls that CSS contains.

But CSS designs don't have to be boxy. In this tutorial aimed right at beginners to CSS, we're going to look at ways in which you can take those sharp corners off a CSS-based design, by adding some curves and a bevel or two.

All you'll need is some basic experience of hand-coding HTML and CSS experience to make full use of this tutorial, but Dreamweaver MX 2004 will help you speed up the creation of the CSS. Don't worry if you haven't hand-coded HTML before, Matt will take you through it step by step.
