How to create a "card" with CSS?
On a web page, we can easily create a card like you must have seen on a Team’s page. The employee name, and designation is visible with a thumbnail image. With CSS, we can easily a card and also set the hover style using the :hover selector.
Set the Card Image
The <img> element is used to set the image for the card. Place it inside a div −
<div class="card">
<img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/assets/profiles/123055/profile/200_187394-1565938756.jpg">
<div class="designation">
<h3>Amit Diwan</h3>
<p>Founder</p>
</div>
</div>
Set the Card Header and Text
Under the above <div>, create another <div> to set the card header and text −
<div class="Designation"> <h3>Amit Diwan</h3> <p>Founder</p> </div>
Style the Card
The div we have set above for the card will now be styled to make it look professional. For that, we have used the box-shadow property. The max-width is also set to set the exact width −
.card {
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
width: 40%;
max-width: 300px;
background-color: rgb(56, 185, 185);
}
On Hover
A slightly different style for the shadow is set on hovering over the card −
.card:hover {
box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
Style the Card Header and Text
We have also set styles for the card header and text to make it look professional −
.designation {
padding: 2px 16px;
background-color: rgb(107, 43, 167);
color:white;
}
Example
To create a card with CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
body{
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
margin:20px;
}
.card {
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
width: 40%;
max-width: 300px;
background-color: rgb(56, 185, 185);
}
.card:hover {
box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
.designation {
padding: 2px 16px;
background-color: rgb(107, 43, 167);
color:white;
}
.card img{
width: 288px;
height: 250px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
