By applying styles to HTML elements, you can define colors, fonts, layouts, and overall aesthetics, enhancing the user experience. CSS also enables responsive design, ensuring your website looks good on various devices.

Deployment involves transferring the site files to a web server using tools like FTP or cloud services, making it accessible to users via the internet. Finally, ongoing maintenance is crucial to update content, enhance features, and ensure security. Building and deploying a website involves several key steps.
