Hello there. Being a web designer, I’m completely new to Vaadin and Java. My task is to create the basic structure and design of a dashboard. The programmers will then implement the functionality afterwards. I have already created the structure of a custom theme using Vaadin Visual Designer. As there are no options in the Visual Designer yet for things like background-color or border-styles, I have to manipulate the reindeer-theme to change the scss/css. Is it possible to test how the application would look like in a browser, in order to actually see the effect of the changes I make to the css? Thanks in advance.
You need to set up the server as described
here in the Book
and then run the project, as described in the next section.
You should not make CSS changes directly in the reindeer theme, but in a project theme, which is created automatically when you create a Vaadin 7 project in Eclipse. The WebContent/VAADIN/yourproject/styles.scss (and any of its includes) is compiled on-the-fly to CSS when you run (deploy) the application in the server launched in Eclipse.
Thank you very much, that pushed me into the right direction. I shouldn’t have skipped the first chapters of the book of vaadin in the first place.

Back to your question, If your web project is not live you can use dreamweaver to test CSS and W3Cvalidation for CSS code validation like Marko said you should not make CSS changes directly if the project is live it can cause trouble do read the book that Marko recommended.
