Writing bad CSS that actually works!
Hey guys so I've not been programming for a while and I decided to finally start building my SaaS but I realized how terrible I became at CSS!!! I started using a lot of position Absolutes and !importants!
I was wondering if that'd be okay if the website works perfectly fine but with a bad CSS? what would you go? would you stop and go learn it again or would you just keep going?
Absolute positioning might not work on smaller or bigger screens. If you don't want to learn CSS, you're probably better off by buying a template or using a framework (Bootstrap or something else).
I think the main problems you should consider are: 1) is it really working? (Aka when I resize the window, on mobile browser etc) 2) when will I need to edit/modify the code? Because main purpose of clean code is to be easily read and understood by you (or someone else) months/years later.
If you can answer positively the above 2 question, then just don’t lose much time and focus on business/features
Have you tried using a CSS framework? to name a few...
Usually these frameworks do a lot of stuff for you and you won't have to write a lot of CSS yourself.
I never liked using such big frameworks for one or two things on my website it feels so unnecessary, I guess I'll use bulma because it's modular based.
It’s not bad css if it works and looks good. Writing better css isn’t going to bring in more customers or bring you another dollar faster.
If this bugs you, add it to your todo list and work on it when you’re rolling in money. Or when you get bored because you have nothing else to do. Or learn how to write better css (I recommend Sass) just because you want to get good at it. But not at the risk of sacrificing momentum.
