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

Let's clean up the blogpost exercise. We will add the seventh post for the sake of dealing with the alignment of the last post too.

You will find the initial state in a code editor at the bottom of this section.

# Exercise 1: Spacing

Separate the blog posts vertically with a `25px` top and bottom margin.

# Exercise 2: Left-aligning the last element

Remove the fixed-width constraint on the container. Align the last blog post to the left. 

# Exercise 3: Responsive breakpoints 

In this exercise, we will violate the principles of mobile-first design to learn how it's much easier. 

Create a mobile layout, where the minimum width of each flex item is `225px`, and the container expands fluidly until the `600px` breakpoint. At or above the `600px` breakpoint, display three blog posts next to each other. Try to write your code such that you don't define the third breakpoint when three instead of two blog posts are displayed.

Set the max-width of the container to `800px`.

Implement the mobile layout in the code editor below:
