Blog preview card solution

For card design sizing, it's generally recommended to use a combination of units for flexibility and responsiveness. Here's why:

Fixed size (px):

• Pros:
  • Easy to control exact size
  • Simple to implement
• Cons:
  • Not responsive; may not adapt well to different screen sizes or devices
  • May cause layout issues or overflow

Relative size (% or em):

• Pros:
  • Responsive; adapts to parent container or font size
  • Flexible and scalable
• Cons:
  • May require additional calculations for layout
  • Can be less predictable

Hybrid approach:

• Use a fixed width (px) for the card container, and relative units (%) for internal elements (e.g., padding, margins).
• Use CSS media queries to adjust card size based on screen size or device.

Recommended approach:

1. Set the card container width using a maximum width (max-width) in pixels (px) to maintain a consistent size.
2. Use relative units (%) or em for internal elements, such as:
   • Padding
   • Margins
   • Font sizes
   • Image sizes
3. Utilize CSS media queries to adjust card size and layout for different screen sizes and devices.

Example:

Font Size:

1. Fixed size: font-size: 16px;
2. Relative size:
   • %: font-size: 120%; (relative to parent)
   • em: font-size: 1.2em; (relative to parent)
   • rem: font-size: 1.2rem; (relative to root)
3. Responsive size:
   • clamp(): font-size: clamp(16px, 4vw, 24px); (between min, max)
   • min(), max(): font-size: max(16px, 4vw); (at least) or font-size: min(24px, 6vw); (at most)

Height:

1. Fixed height: height: 500px;
2. Relative height:
   • %: height: 80%; (relative to parent)
   • vh: height: 80vh; (relative to viewport)
3. Responsive height:
   • clamp(): height: clamp(400px, 60vh, 800px);
   • min(), max(): height: max(400px, 60vh); or height: min(800px, 80vh);
   • min-height, max-height: min-height: 400px; or max-height: 800px;

Width:

1. Fixed width: width: 800px;
2. Relative width:
   • %: width: 80%; (relative to parent)
   • vw: width: 80vw; (relative to viewport)
3. Responsive width:
   • clamp(): width: clamp(600px, 60vw, 1200px);
   • min(), max(): width: max(600px, 60vw);` or width: min(1200px, 80vw);
   • min-width, max-width: min-width: 600px; or max-width: 1200px;

These units and functions enable flexible, responsive designs that adapt to various screen sizes, devices, and orientations.
