Borderline Brilliant: Styling Radio Choices for Clarity

Introduction: Radio buttons are great for guiding users to a single choice, but without clear boundaries, options can blur together. Adding borders around radio button groups improves readability, makes forms easier to scan, and helps users confidently select the right option. It’s a small CSS tweak that delivers a big boost in clarity and usability.
