  Hello @sheikhhaseeb559!

  I think your project looks great!

  If you just change the right side background to white and add a box-shadow to your card, it'll be even closer to the original design.

  Other than those details, you did a great job!

  To position an element, I use position: absolute, but you have to put: position: relative on the parent container element. I use Flexbox to position elements and sometimes the position relative & absolute combo.

  Example html:

  <div class="parent-container">
    <div class="child">Lorem ipsum</div>
  </div>
  

  CSS:

  .parent-container {
  width: 500px;
  height: 500px;
  border: 1px solid red;
  position: relative;
  }
  
  .child {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  border: 1px solid purple;
  position: absolute;
  top: 100px;
  left: 250px;
  }
  

  I put above code on Codepen, so you can fiddle around with the code:

  @Aphelion-im Hi, to be honest I haven't found any reason to use position element in any project I have done so far, only occurrence I can think of is when we have a specific design that is outside of the flow and we need to position it at some point on screen.

  @Mazz100 I barely use it as well.

  A usecase for it could be the "Back to top" icon on the bottom right of the screen, with a position: fixed.

  Using position is an older technique, just like float based layouts or even table based layouts. I prefer Flexbox or Grid.

  Just nice and handy tools to have in your web dev toolbox for a given situation.
