# Custom CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is coded file that selects elements of your page and controls their presentation. Think of your custom template's HTML as the bones of your website and the CSS as the skin of your site.

Please refer this article from Shopify for Adding custom CSS to your theme: <https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/extend/add-css>

2. Find the theme that you want to edit, and then click **Customize**.
3. Click **Theme settings -> CUSTOM CSS**.
4. Add your code and click **Save**.
