<\/a><\/li>\n- Organise Files Correctly (Best Practice)To avoid broken styles:\n
- \n
- Place CSS files inside a folder such as \/css\/<\/li>\n
- Update your HTML file to link the CSS correctly:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"css\/style.css\"><\/pre>\n
Incorrect paths are one of the most common reasons CSS does not load.<\/li>\n
- Open your domain in a browser; if the page loads without proper styling, recheck file names (case-sensitive), confirm CSS file paths, and clear the browser cache.<\/li>\n
- Click on the link back to \/home\/customer\/public_html after the uploading is done.<\/li>\n
- You can find your uploaded files in the File Manager.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
