The first step to do is having a basic understanding of the Sharepoint, HTML and CSS.

CSS overriding makes it much more comfortable than building a present set of codes from scratch. There are specific ways through which we can find the CSS classes to override.
The master page is the most critical file that plays an active part in branding your Sharepoint. It's the main web page that decides the HTML structure that will call the CSS to style it. Next, every single page in your site collection can refer to that single Master page for the main design of the website.

Master pages can also be made with the help of Microsoft Visual Studio.
