My process

Built with

• CSS custom properties
• SaaS
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

This project helped me to verify my css flex box skills. I used flexbox for the entire container to properly align the three boxes. I also Used @media query and flex dirction to align the boxes both vertically and horizontally for mobile and desktop version respectively.

With a little scale animation, I have been able to change the hover state of each buttons in the box to show interactive elements.

Initially I had issues centering the box to the center on desktop version, but I have been able to accomplish that by setting justify-contents and align-items to center on the flexbox.

Some of the snippets I'm proud of:

// to align boxes vertically and horizontally
body {
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}
// hover state change
    button:hover {
        transform: scale(1.1);
    }
