Design comparison
Solution retrospective
Getting columns of equal widths proved to be difficult with Flexbox when a child uses padding. The alternative I assume is to use a Grid. If there are any simpler methods I would be glad to hear about them.

Hi @jessegood,
Good job on the challenge
Your solution seems fine to get equal columns with flexbox you would use
flex: 1
which you did other option would be to usewidth: 50%
or to use grid withgrid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr
Just increase the min-width: 375px to 576px you media query is not responsive.
Hope this is helpful.

👾Hello Jesse Good, Congratulations on completing this challenge!
I saw that you’ve used
flexbox
to place the content and create the layout.I think the best way to build this component with two columns is by using
GRID LAYOUT
since it is simpler to manage the columns and then create the media query for mobile. Here’s the steps to create it withgrid
create the main block to hold all the content (you can use<main>
to wrap), set itswidth
asmax-width: 900px
(it's the container size) anddisplay: grid
/grid-template-column: 1fr 1fr
(this means that your component will have two columns with 50% of the container width each thats 450px). To manage the column with the text use flexbox andgap
to give it the spacing between the texts or usepadding-bottom
to separate them.Then to create the mobile version, all you need to do is to change the container flow vertically with
grid-template-column: 1fr
.✌️ I hope this helps you and happy coding!
