Working With Gradients

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to figure out, when is it most appropriate to use linear and radial gradients on websites that are created by me? I get the concepts and how to use different colors, then use color stops, but when would i use these on the sites i create?

Thanks, JC

I don't think there is a correct answer for that, it will be up to you on when and how to use them. I have used them on my header and my footer, But it all Comes down to the design and feel you want for your website.
