How to create a responsive website that will work on all devices, PC, laptop, tablet, and phone?
A responsive website works on every device whether it's a desktop, tablet or a mobile. To set the responsiveness, we use Media Queries.
Create the header container
Create a div for the headerL
<div class="header"> <h1>Website ?</h1> </div>
Style the header
Align the header text in the center using the text-align property −
.header {
padding: 80px;
text-align: center;
background: #7b1abc;
color: white;
}
Create the navigation menu
The <nav> is used to create the navigation menu −
<nav> <a class="links selected" href="#"> Home</a> <a class="links" href="#"> Login</a> <a class="links" href="#"> Register</a> <a class="links" href="#"> Contact Us</a> <a class="links" href="#">More Info</a> </nav>
Create the body content
Use the <main> and place the text you want to appear on the website −
<main>
<h2>Sample Heading</h2>
<h5>Published in January</h5>
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Eum, autem.
</p>
<br />
<h2>Sample Heading</h2>
<h5>Published in march</h5>
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Unde quo minus fugiat tempora quae ratione dignissimos exercitationem voluptate officiis reiciendis.
</p>
</main>
Create the Footer
The footer is a sector placed in the bottom. The copyright text can also be seen on the footer −
<div class="footer"> <h2>Footer ?</h2> </div>
Style the footer
Align the footer text in the center using the text-align property with the value center −
.footer {
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
background: rgb(255, 0, 0);
}
Set the responsiveness
Media Queries are used to set the responsiveness. The width is set to 100% when the screen size is less than 830px. Also, the links are set with the display property block value −
@media screen and (max-width: 830px) {
div, main {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.links {
display: block;
}
Example
To create a responsive website that will work on all devices, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
}
.header {
padding: 80px;
text-align: center;
background: #7b1abc;
color: white;
}
.header h1 {
font-size: 40px;
}
nav {
width: 100%;
background-color: rgb(39, 39, 39);
overflow: auto;
height: auto;
}
.links {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px;
color: rgb(178, 137, 253);
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 17px;
}
.links:hover {
background-color: rgb(100, 100, 100);
}
.selected {
background-color: rgb(0, 18, 43);
}
main {
background-color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
.footer {
padding: 20px;
