PRACTICE DEMO · INTERACTIVE

Small screen.
Good experience.

The same content, a different layout. Compare fixed widths with flexible CSS. The problem was deliberately built for this exercise; this is not a client repair.

Fictional studio website created for this exercise. The example’s buttons are presentation text; there is no booking or contact form.

The core of the solution

.layout {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 1fr);
  gap: clamp(16px, 4vw, 36px);
}
@media (max-width: 600px) {
  .layout { grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 1fr); }
}
img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }
THE PROBLEM

A desktop layout
on a phone.

The version before the fix keeps a 900-pixel width and two fixed columns. On a narrow screen, parts of the content disappear beyond the viewport.

THE SOLUTION

The content follows
the available space.

The improved version uses flexible columns, scalable spacing and a 600-pixel breakpoint. Columns stack on mobile and the navigation can wrap.
