Responsive

Now that we have our styling and layout, we can turn to the format of our page in different viewpoints.

Since we took a mobile-first approach here, we can add a media query to our code to begin to reformat it for a wider viewport.

@media (min-width: 720px) {
}

The CSS contained within this query will only apply when the browser's viewport is wider than 720px.

Format the header

The first thing we will add is a change to the way we flexbox the header.

@media (min-width: 720px) {
header nav {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
}

This change will make the nav element a flexbox and arrange the elements inside spaced apart from each other and aligned vertically in the center.

The effect of this is to push the h1 to the left and the ul to the right giving the header a more horizontal look and feel.

By adding the following CSS inside the media query, we can format the gallery into a grid and apply some gap in between the elements.

@media (min-width: 720px) {
header nav {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
.feature {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
gap: 0.5rem;
}
}

Gallery of images

Let's change the grid layout of the gallery when the screen is wide:

@media (min-width: 720px) {
header nav {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
.feature {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
gap: 0.5rem;
}
.gallery {
grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
}
}

This will give the grid a row of four elements before generating a new row.

Footer

Give the footer more space when wider.

@media (min-width: 720px) {
header nav {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
.feature {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
gap: 0.5rem;
}
.gallery {
grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
}
footer {
margin-top: 2rem;
}
}

To format the sections of the footer to change their alignment, we will add some classes to help us. We add a call-to-action, join, donation, and built-with-love class to some parts of the footer.

<footer>
<div>
<div class="call-to-action">
<div class="join">
<h3>Join our Newsletter</h3>
<form class="newsletter">
<p>
<label for="full-name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="full-name" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="email-address">Email Address</label>
<input type="e-mail" name="email-address" />
</p>
<p>
<input class="button" type="submit" value="Sign Up" />
</p>
</form>
</div>
<div class="donation">
<h3>Make a Donation</h3>
<p>
Magna fringilla urna porttitor rhoncus dolor purus. Nullam non nisi
est sit amet. Tincidunt eget nullam non nisi est sit. Blandit cursus
risus at ultrices. Id venenatis a condimentum vitae sapien
pellentesque habitant morbi.
</p>
<a class="button" href="#">Donate</a>
</div>
</div>
<p class="built-with-love">
Built with <span class="hearts">&hearts;</span> in St. Petersburg,
Florida.
</p>
</div>
</footer>

Then we will add these styles inside our media query. This will set our call-to-action to flex and space in between the join and donation sections. We set the built-with-love to move that text to the center.

.call-to-action {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.call-to-action .join {
margin-right: 1rem;
min-width: 12rem;
}
.built-with-love {
text-align: center;
}

Setting content in the center

Let's add some left and right margin to the page to use more whitespace to the page. We add a container class to certain elements we want to have margin applied.

<nav class="container"></nav>
<div class="container">
<div class="call-to-action"></div>

Then outside the media query, we will add this selector to set a maximum width of some of the portions of the content. This ensures that as we widen the page, these elements won't grow wider than the specified size.

header .container,
main,
footer .container {
max-width: 48rem;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0.5rem;
}
