A CSS watermark is a design technique used to place a semi-transparent or fully opaque image or text behind the main content of a web page. This can be for branding, copyright protection, or aesthetic purposes. Unlike traditional watermarks applied to printed material or images, a CSS watermark is integrated directly into the web page’s HTML and styled using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
Why Use a CSS Watermark?
- Branding: Including a watermark can reinforce brand identity across web pages.
- Copyright Protection: A watermark can discourage unauthorized use of web content by marking it as belonging to a specific owner.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Watermarks can enhance the visual appeal of a website by adding subtle background details.
