  <p>This is an example of what you can do with pure css to style radio buttons or checkboxes. If you are looking a more flexible & mordern way to style radio buttons on forms, take a look at this <a target="_blank"  href="https://codepen.io/AngelaVelasquez/details/BWXbxP" title="SVG radio buttons">version with SVG icons</a>.
