In this course, you will get hands-on experience in designing mobile-responsive web layouts using Flexbox. You will start with the basics like the Box Model and the process of layouting.

You will then move on to advanced concepts such as Flexbox containers, and aligning individual Flexbox items. Near the end of the course, you will put everything you just learned into practice. You will work on a project that focuses on developing a mobile-first website where you’ll experiment with page layout, headers, footers, and a lot more.

By the end of this course, you will be able to use Flexbox in your own projects to create beautiful layouts.

Designing Web Layouts with CSS and Flexbox

The objective of the first chapter of the course is to prepare you for Flexbox and review some CSS required to understand the rest of the course.

<style>
.pin li {
  list-style: "📌  ";
}
</style>
<div class="pin">

- The anatomy of a CSS declaration is mandatory to make progress in the course. The ability to formulate correct selectors is equally important. Without the box model and box-sizing options, layouting will be shaky even with Flexbox.
- We also need media queries for layouting to define the proper breakpoints. Understanding the benefits of mobile-first design is useful.
- Talking about layouting, inline-block elements were not introduced here. Although they are good in general, we need to understand why Flexbox is so much better.
