The available files for editing vary from template design or what the template designer allows for editing.
- CSS stands for cascading style sheets. This controls many elements of the look and feel of your site.
- HTML or master files are the files which control where positions are defined and placed. It should be noted that, with a few exceptions, what is in the .css and HTML files largely depends on the approach of the template designer.
