CSS3, CSS4 or CSS5? How CSS is organised today
CSS3 is a familiar name from the stage when the specification was split into modules. W3C states that after CSS Level 3, modules are levelled independently and CSS as a whole no longer receives new levels.
DECISION BEFORE TECHNOLOGY
What this means for a real project
There is no general CSS4 or CSS5 standard. Individual modules can reach Level 4 or Level 5, such as Selectors Level 4 or CSS Color Level 5. A project should check the specific feature, specification status and support in the audience’s browsers.
In practice, the right answer depends on users, data, budget, administration and what must happen after the first action. We therefore assess the complete flow before recommending a technology or platform.
MP WEB STUDIO PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATION
What to pay attention to
- 01Do target browsers support the feature?
- 02Is there a safe fallback?
- 03Has it been tested on mobile and desktop?
CONCLUSION
A good choice can be explained simply
A professional recommendation should explain the problem solved, the limitations, maintenance cost and how the solution can evolve. If the argument relies only on trends or a technology name, the analysis is not finished.
