Code in header.php but css in index.css or in header.css?

If i put the header into the header.css, do i need to put the style of the header.php code into a new file header.css or should i still keep the style in index.css ! Logical for me would be to put all styles in index.css, am i right?

Dude just have 1 css file, call it layout.css or something and put your styling for everything in there.

Not sure if that would work out on a templates based website.

You can put all your styles in one stylesheet and link it once in the <head> tag. It's more efficient this way since the browser will request less files. In your css, you can use comment to separate section styles as you want.

For naming convention, you don't have to name it as same as their file name. You can name it whatever you like. I've seen many name stylesheet as style.css or layout.css.
