- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm James Williamson, Senior Author at Lynda.com and I wanna welcome you to CSS Styling Navigation. In this course, we're gonna explore controlling the presentation of site navigation through CSS. We'll start off by exploring how to properly structure navigation and then move on to establishing solid, basic link styling for your site. From there, we'll go on to creating multiple menu types including pure CSS dropdown menus and we'll finish up by looking at ways that you can enhance your overall site navigation through CSS.
Fire up your favorite code editor and let's get started with CSS Styling Navigation.
