Custom CSS Project

Initially, we have created a basic HTML only project. Then we have integrated Bootstrap into our project. Now, we will create a custom CSS project. We will use only Python to create this project.

Let's create a new project directory named custom_css_project. Then create a new file named app.py inside the custom_css_project directory.

Now, we will create everything in side the app.py file.
