Responsive Design:
- Open the HTML file in a text editor.
- Create CSS file (
styles.css) and link it in the<head>section of the HTML using the<link>tag. - Apply default styles to the elements in the CSS (e.g.,
body,header,nav,main,section,footer). - Add the following line inside the
<head>section of the HTML to enable responsive behavior:<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">.
Mobile First approach and Media Queries:
- Add a media query for screens with a maximum width of 600px.
- Inside the media query, modify the styles of the elements to make them more suitable for mobile devices (e.g., center-align the header, stack the navigation vertically).
Typical Device Breakpoints CSS media queries:
- Add another media query for screens with a minimum width of 601px.
- Inside this media query, modify the styles of the elements to create a responsive layout for tablet and desktop screens (e.g., use flexbox to arrange the sections side by side).
CSS units (px, em, rem, vw, vh, vmin, vmax):
- Apply appropriate CSS units to the styles of elements in the CSS file.
- Adjust the font sizes, margins, and paddings using different units (e.g.,
rem,vw,vh).
CSS functions (calc(), min(), max(), clamp()):
- Utilize CSS functions to calculate values dynamically.
- Use the
calc()function to perform arithmetic operations on CSS values (e.g.,calc(1.5rem + 1vw)). - Apply the
clamp()function to set a range of acceptable values for a property (e.g.,clamp(14px, 1.5vw, 18px)).
