How can i add a image background to my website? 

body {
     margin: 0;
     background: url(background.png);
     background-size: 1440px 800px;
     background-repeat:no-repeatdisplay: compact;
     font: 13px/18px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

I did that much but nothing shows up on my page. I’m a CSS beginner.

Updated:

body {
 margin: 0;
 background-image: url(.../img/background.jpg);
 background-size: 1440px 800px;
 background-repeat:no-repeat;
 display: compact;
 font: 13px/18px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    Put the background url in quotes.

    It should be background: url('background.png');

    See here for working demo.

    You also have an issue with the background-repeat line missing a semicolon in between two statements. If your background is really tiny you won’t see it because of that issue.

    Just to update on the solution, among the other issues, the background file was being refrenced with .../background.jpg when it should have been ../background.jpg (2 dots, not 3).
