How to Add Box Shadows to Your Website
You can easily add stylish box shadows to elements on your website using CSS. This adds depth, contrast, and a more modern look to your UI. Here are two simple methods:
1. Using Inline CSS in HTML
You can directly apply the box-shadow property to an element using the style attribute inside your HTML tag.
<div style="box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);">
This box has a shadow!
</div>
2. Using CSS Classes (Recommended)
Define the box shadow in your external CSS file or in a <style> block, then apply the class to any HTML element.
HTML
<div class="shadow-box">
This box has a shadow!
</div>
CSS
.shadow-box {
box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
