Is CSS a programming language?

A few hours ago I was talking with a friend and asked him this question.

We're both working in our thesis for a software engineering title, but right know we're working on a web dev project, and having worked before with PROLOG I realized CSS is very similar in a sense.

The way I see it, with CSS you can define rules allowing computers to do some math and resolve a problem based on the previous rules. I know there's a lot of discussion in this topic, but I'm kinda new here and wanted to see on first-hand what people have to say about it.

Client wants to modify the SPA website in the future.

Hello! I'm writing this in search of some help.

My client wants the website the team is building with Angular to be customizable in the future, when he asked me if that was possible he pointed out website builders like Wix. I don't really know if that's possible, but never heard before about uploading a web page and being able to play around with it using a website builder.

I don't think it's crazy to think this could be possible with a static web page, but since my team is building a SPA with angular, I just think I have to talk to the client and tell him that what he wants isn't possible. At the time of this writing I'm investigating and playing around with Wix, Webflow and others.

I'd like to know if someone else has been in this situation before, if so, what they did and if you know about this topic, any recommendation will be of help and very well appreciated.
