HTML and CSS Layout Fundamentals

HTML gives the page structure. CSS decides how things look and sit on the screen. Good layout means the page stays readable on different screen sizes.

Analogy

HTML is the room structure and furniture labels. CSS is how you arrange the furniture so people can walk comfortably in every room size.

Follow-up questions

Topic practice prompts

When would you choose flexbox and when would you choose grid?

Use flexbox for one-dimensional alignment in a row or column. Use grid when both rows and columns matter together.

  • Can flexbox still build a full page layout?
  • How do you decide between auto-fit and media queries?
How do you build responsive UI without creating messy CSS?

Start with fluid layout, reusable spacing rules, and content-based breakpoints instead of piling on random media queries.

  • What CSS units do you prefer for spacing?
  • How do you keep typography readable across devices?
