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; text-align: center; color: white; background: rgb(255, 0, 0); } @media screen and (max-width: 830px) { div, main { width: 100%; text-align: center; } .links { display: block; } } </style> </head> <body> <div class="header"> <h1>Website ↶</h1> </div> <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> <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> <div class="footer"> <h2>Footer ↷</h2> </div> </body> </html>
