The 2023 State of CSS survey ran from August 17 to September 12 2024, and collected 9,704 responses. The survey is run by Devographics, with help from a team of open-source contributors and consultants.

The State of CSS logo and t-shirt were designed and animated by Christopher Kirk-Nielsen.

Survey Goals

This survey was created to identify upcoming trends in the web development ecosystem in order to help developers make technological choices.

As such, this survey is focused on anticipating what's coming over the next few years rather than analyzing what's popular now, which is why the features or technologies that are currently most widespread are not always included.

Additionally, survey data is also used by browser vendors to prioritize features and inform initiatives such as Interop 2024.

Survey Design

This survey was designed collaboratively on GitHub.

Survey Audience

The survey was openly accessible online and respondents were not filtered or selected in any way. Respondents were primarily a mix of respondents from past surveys (alerted through a dedicated mailing list) and social media traffic.

Project Funding

Apart from t-shirt sales, funding from this project comes from a variety of sources:

Our partner Frontend Masters sponsors the survey in exchange for featuring relevant links to their courses at the bottom of each page.
The Google Chrome team set aside a sponsoring budget this year to help design and run the survey.
TokyoDev is also sponsoring the survey on an ongoing basis.
