HTML and CSS paralel coding?

Question

When creating html with css elements, is it better to write these two at the same time or to put everything into html? It's easier to read if they are two separate files, but I find it a bit confusing for total beginner. Please share your opinion. Thanks.

Answer 1

I think its better to start with best practice. If they can figure out how to link the two, reading them separately shouldn’t be too different.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what is the best practice since I'm new to this. Making 200-250 lines in HTML and than doing all neccessary text decorations, shadowing, colors and so on after that might be hard but it would allow me to review HTML again. But doing it at the same time while creating HTML might be better. Otherwise I could get lost or maybe not if I make a good use of comments in HTML.

To make it simple...I'm a NOOB and advices are more than welcome :)

What i found more helpful is to actually draw your concept first. Get a really good idea/outline written down and then design the html from the top down. The css will help structure, just like the home, but in a different way.

It's really helpful to take a few hours and build a few simple layouts on codepen or something. Nothing detailed just an outline.
