Hi @josenegrete123!
The best way to use @media is interestingly enough to use it in the least possible way.
The idea of modern CSS development is to use the “Mobile-First” approach, since a large part of web traffic comes from mobile devices. So, it is better to start designing on small screens and then the big screens, so we use good practices in programming, save code and have more ease in maintaining it.
So, if it is best to use @media as little as possible, what is the right way?
To what I have been seeing, is to make the web as smooth as possible, achieving this by using more “flexible” units such as rem, vh or % instead of using px. Also using min-height / max-height or min-width / max-width instead of just width or height since these last values are static values, making our page less responsive.
As an observation, you will use the min-width / min-height values more but remember that it all depends on what you want to do.
Finally, as a tip, I noticed that in your CSS code with the @media you repeat all the code, thing that the @media serve for the opposite, so that you only modify certain values, example:
main {
min-height: 95vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.container {
padding: 1.70rem;
max-width: 42vh;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
border-radius: 1rem;
background-color: var(--White-color);
}
@media (min-width: 500px) {
main {
min-height: 90vh;
min-width: 270px;
}
.container {
padding: 2rem;
max-width: 95vh;
}
}
I hope all this has helped you!
Best regards, Sebastian.
