CSS is the preferred technology to design modern web pages. Although CSS is often perceived as a simple language, applying modern styles to web pages with CSS and maintaining the code for larger websites can be quite tricky.

We'll quickly take you through CSS3's features, and show you how to resolve common issues so you can build your basic framework. Finally, you will learn about code architecture and CSS methodologies used in scalable apps and you'll explore the various new features of CSS3, such as FlexBox, to help you create the most modern layout methodologies. By the end of the book, you will be a master at creating pure CSS web pages and will know sophisticated web design techniques, giving you an edge over other web designers.

Media queries


In each responsive web project, you will need to create media queries. You need to choose steps that you will implement and then start creating the project based on these steps.

Media queries template

Media queries are rather simple to use and create. The main problem with media queries is reusable steps that you can keep in one place. In some projects, you will need to add a few more queries because of project visibility problems or some extra code that will affect your code. Let's focus on how to make it once with some settings and then use it in our code.

The basic settings are focused on the following:

  • Mobile devices (phones)

  • Mobile devices (tablets)

  • Desktop devices

  • Desktop devices (large)

In some cases, you can extend this list with mobile device position (portrait and landscape), but a smaller number of media queries is better and easier for maintenance. So how can we keep the sizes?

  • $small: 320px

  • $medium: 768px

  • $large: 1024px
