I would say yes if you have that skillset. I mean, why not? It still generates valid CSS. And your site might not always be simple. It could grow! Or what if you realize suddenly that your color scheme is actually awful or doesn't work well with your new logo? It's going to be infinitely easier to change the value of a variable than it will be to find every instance of that color throughout your CSS.

Just because your site starts simple doesn't mean it will stay that way. If you know enough Sass to do a simple site using it, then do that. I would dare say that it'd be better to have the base of the Sass files already set up and keep your skills up to date (mostly so you don't forget it in the meantime), and then if it does grow into something more beautiful and complex, you'll be far more ready for that challenge. My guess is that it would be infinitely more difficult to take a complex site and make all the Sass for it, than it would be to start with a simple site with Sass and expand it to be something more complex.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Having not seen your CSS, my guess would be that main.css would be first up and then interactions.css. You don't have to convert the normalize.css :thumbsup:

Jennifer, hi! i have question and problem again =) i told you before that i Have 3 css file: main.css, normalize and responsive.css. In the beginning of building my web I didnt put that 3 .css file in 1 folder(css folder like in the sass video tutorial of Guil), coz Im following the tutorial of Nick Petitte Video in the first part of web designing. So, what i did I make a folder of CSS to compile all my .css(3 .css files). when i try to open and refresh the page my website was miserable. what do you think is the problem in my code? im using Visual code studio. =)

thank you
