# Separating CSS by files

 * Hi,
 * I have been working on this site for a while and have built my own theme – it
   will soon be redesigned by a third party.
 * The site includes a kit builder which I have styled to my client’s liking using
   CSS, this will stay under my control.
 * I added all my CSS to style.css, but this will soon be cleared out to fit the
   redesign.
 * Is there a way I can create a separate CSS file for the kit builder styling so
   that I don’t need to use style.css?
 * I’d prefer not to use Additional CSS within WordPress as that will also be used
   by the third party.

 * Hi [@niallasd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niallasd/)
 * It looks like you want to add custom css that may not be lost when any theme 
   updates changes done by third party.
 * You can use below plugin to add custom styling.

 * I hope this will help you!

 * Thanks, is there a way to do it without a plugin – like creating a CSS file and
   uploading to the server?

 * just enqueue a different style sheet in functions.php. You will still need the
   style.css because it is required by WordPress. You can enqueue as many CSS files
   as you want.

 * Thanks, now I’m curious as to which is best – plugin or enqueuing a style sheet.

 * Use a plug in if you want it independent of the theme. If it part of your theme
   place it in the theme.
