Hello, @3kori!

Your project is looking fantastic!

I'd like to suggest a way to make it even better:

  • Using margin isn't always the most effective method for centering an element.

Here's a highly efficient approach to position an element at the center of the page both vertically and horizontally:

šŸ“Œ Apply this CSS to the body (avoid using position or margins in order to work correctly):

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex; 
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

I hope you find this helpful!

Keep up the excellent work!

Hi @danielmrz-dev,

Just a follow-up question.

Why wouldn't I use the grid property for the body like the one below to center the container?

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: grid;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

And why is min-height: 100vh; important in centering the container?

Yes. That works with grid too.

min-height: 100vh is important because the align-items property centers the element based on the user's screen viewport height. That's why you need that.
