3 column preview card component. Grid and Flex

hello @jetskeeter1 i have a few suggestions on how to improve your code and also make it responsive on smaller and larger devices.

• You need to restructure your html layout to properly to make use of flex box for responsive design. in order to make use of flex box, you need to apply display flex to a parent container and within the parent container you need to have flex items. for the flex items you need to enclose each of the items in a <div>.

- <section>
      <main class="container">
      <div class="box box1">
          <img>
        <h1 class="title">SEDANS</h1>        
        <p class="descript">
          Choose a sedan for its affordability and excellent fuel economy. Ideal for cruising in the city 
    or on your next road trip.
        </p>
        <a href="#sedan" class="button">Learn More</a>  
      </div>
    </section>  

• do that for the other three sections. if you look closely the layout for the 3 sections are similar there is an image on the top, <h1>, <p> and <a>, in other to style all 3 you can give them the same class="box".for each of the other sections give them a diffrent class box1, box2 and box3 in that order so you can give them a diffrent background-color. Make sure that all three sections are enclosed within your main container. You can give the main container which serves as your parent <div> a display of flex. You are missing this part in your code that is why it is not responsive. in other to make use of flex box you need a parent container with display flex and flex items each enclosed in a <div> tag.

• After applying css styling on your webpage then you can use media query and target smaller screen devices, change the flex-direction from row to column so the box1, box2 and box3 are stacked on top of each other.

-  /* responsive style */
@media(max-width: 920px){
    #card{
        flex-direction: column;
    }
}
@media(max-width: 425px){
    #card{
        margin: 2rem 1rem;
    }
}

• by effecting this changes you are going to have a responsive web page across large and smaller devices feel free to adjust css styling as you see fit.

Congratulations on finishing this challenge 🎉🎉 Your solution is nice.

However, I have a few ideas for improvement on the project.

• Your solution works, however, it has little issues with responsiveness. The ultimate hack I’ve found in making responsive designs is to start the project from the mobile workflow first, then make the desktop view, and other larger views using media query. This approach is highly recommended because it ensures that your design is responsive on the mobile as well as the desktop since the majority of internet users access the internet using their mobile devices. it also makes web development and maintenance much easier.

• I also observed that your media query breakpoint for this project is set at @375px which is not the best in terms of responsiveness on bigger screens such as desktops. Media queries for desktops usually start at 37.5rem which is 600px. There’s a lot more I could suggest in terms of media queries, however, I would link the following articles to help you learn more about media queries and how to choose breaking points.

• A Complete Guide to CSS Media Queries

• Media Query CSS Example

• Add display: inline-block to your button element. This makes the button element respect the width, height, and margins set to it and keeps the buttons in the same line as required in this project.

• I also observed that you do not have a custom Readme page for your project on GitHub. It’s always a good practice to have a custom Readme for your projects, using the Readme template provided as a guide. The readme page is a good way to document your project and helps for future contributions on the project.

• I’d also like to suggest that you move the attribution styles from your HTML file to your CSS file. It helps to make your code more organized.

Your solution is a good one, and I hope these few suggestions help you to make it even better.

A better approach for making responsive websites for mobile and desktop is to use the Mobile-first method. As most of the people visit websites through their mobile devices. Also it will be easier for you to convert from mobile to desktop rather than desktop to mobile. Make all mobile customs first and make sure everything is working correctly, then at last use media query to make desktop version of your code. Write changes only that is necessary to be changed.
