Gone are the days of simple and plain CSS! Now is the time to put the language in order and make it more supportive by means of active CSS by means of LESS. With the help of LESS, we can use some programming and logic inside CSS to make it more authoritative, and just by changing the value of the variable in one place, the needful is done. A lot of built-in functions are there which lets you to use variables and do stuffs for instance without a glitch; you can bring out a change as per the need by just altering one variable.

In a nutshell, Less is a CSS pre-processor that encompasses the CSS language.

A horde of profits of using LESS consists of the following:

· It offers a reorganized code and the repetition of code over and over again can be evaded.

· It allows you to save a lot of time as needless recurrence of CSS code does not occur.

· It is easier to understand and keep up, as definite values are restructured simply once (in the control panel), not all over the place they come about.

The only shortcoming with LESS is that it needs JavaScript to be facilitated in the operator’s browser. In case of browser not able to run JavaScript or when it is turned off then the consequential page looks pretty disorganized!
