Understanding CSS Gradients
CSS gradients let you display smooth transitions between two or more specified colors. Linear gradients go in a straight line while radial gradients radiate from a central point. Both are rendered by the browser without needing image files, making them fast and infinitely scalable.
When to Use Gradients
- Hero Sections: Add depth and visual interest to large hero backgrounds.
- Buttons: Make call-to-action buttons pop with subtle gradient fills.
- Text Effects: Combined with
background-clip: text, gradients create stunning text effects.
