# The Holy Grail of Layout
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this last flexbox exercise you're going to recreate an incredibly common website layout. It is so common that it is often called the [Holy Grail](https://www.google.com/search?q=holy+grail+layout&tbm=isch&sclient=img) layout... and with flexbox it is actually pretty easy to pull off.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As with the previous exercise, we've left a little more for you to do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Hints
|
||
|
|
- You will need to change the flex-direction to push the footer down.
|
||
|
|
- You will need to add some divs as containers to get things to line up correctly.
|
||
|
|
- `flex-wrap` will help get the cards aligned correctly.
|
||
|
|
- Make sure you define how much space the cards should take up, in order for `flex-wrap` to work as intended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Desired outcome
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The number of cards lined up in that section will change based on the width of your screen, so don't stress about getting _exactly_ a 2x3 or 3x2 grid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On a smaller screen it will look like this:

|
### Self Check
|
||
|
|
- The header text is size 32px and weight 900.
|
||
|
|
- The header text is vertically centered and 16px from the edge of the screen.
|
||
|
|
- The footer is pushed to the bottom of the screen (the footer may go _below_ the bottom of the screen if the content of the 'cards' section overflows and/or if your screen is shorter).
|
||
|
|
- The footer text is centered horizontally and vertically.
|
||
|
|
- The sidebar and cards take up all available space above the footer.
|
||
|
|
- The sidebar is 300px wide (and it doesn't shrink).
|
||
|
|
- The sidebar links are size 24px, are white, and do not have the underline text decoration.
|
||
|
|
- The sidebar has 16px padding.
|
||
|
|
- There is 32px padding around the 'cards' section.
|
||
|
|
- The cards are arranged horizontally, but wrap to multiple lines when they run out of room on the page.
