Unit 6 Website Development - Tutorial 2

2.21 Use gap to create clean spacing between items

Create consistent spacing inside flex and grid layouts.

What You Are Adding

Gap creates space between items in a flex or grid container. It is cleaner than adding lots of separate margins to every card because the spacing is controlled by the parent.

CSS To Add To css/style.css

Add or adapt this CSS in the stylesheet you created in Tutorial 1. Keep the HTML structure from Tutorial 1 and use CSS to improve the presentation.

.card-row {
    display: flex;
    gap: 18px;
}

Expected Output

Card 1
Card 2
Card 3
