I always try to minimize the use of images while designing a website or a WordPress theme. Here are few benefits of using CSS3 instead of images:
- Lesser images means faster loading time. When you minimize the use of images using CSS3, your website will take less amount of time to load and Google will show love for your website.
- Easy of use. Using CSS3 only you can easily change the color scheme and styling of your website.
