Css header footer example

CSS Website Layout

A website is often divided into headers, menus, content and a footer:

There are tons of different layout designs to choose from. However, the structure above, is one of the most common, and we will take a closer look at it in this tutorial.

Header

A header is usually located at the top of the website (or right below a top navigation menu). It often contains a logo or the website name:

Example

Header

Navigation Bar

A navigation bar contains a list of links to help visitors navigating through your website:

Example

/* The navbar container */
.topnav overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
>

/* Navbar links */
.topnav a float: left;
display: block;
color: #f2f2f2;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
>

/* Links — change color on hover */
.topnav a:hover background-color: #ddd;
color: black;
>

Content

The layout in this section, often depends on the target users. The most common layout is one (or combining them) of the following:

• 1-column (often used for mobile browsers)
• 2-column (often used for tablets and laptops)
• 3-column layout (only used for desktops)

We will create a 3-column layout, and change it to a 1-column layout on smaller screens:

Example

/* Create three equal columns that float next to each other */
.column float: left;
width: 33.33%;
>

/* Clear floats after the columns */
.row:after content: «»;
display: table;
clear: both;
>

/* Responsive layout — makes the three columns stack on top of each other instead of next to each other on smaller screens (600px wide or less) */
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) .column width: 100%;
>
>

Column

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas sit amet pretium urna. Vivamus venenatis velit nec neque ultricies, eget elementum magna tristique.

Column

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas sit amet pretium urna. Vivamus venenatis velit nec neque ultricies, eget elementum magna tristique.

Column

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas sit amet pretium urna. Vivamus venenatis velit nec neque ultricies, eget elementum magna tristique.

Tip: To create a 2-column layout, change the width to 50%. To create a 4-column layout, use 25%, etc.

Tip: Do you wonder how the @media rule works? Read more about it in our CSS Media Queries chapter.

Tip: A more modern way of creating column layouts, is to use CSS Flexbox. However, it is not supported in Internet Explorer 10 and earlier versions. If you require IE6-10 support, use floats (as shown above).

To learn more about the Flexible Box Layout Module, read our CSS Flexbox chapter.

Unequal Columns

The main content is the biggest and the most important part of your site.

It is common with unequal column widths, so that most of the space is reserved for the main content. The side content (if any) is often used as an alternative navigation or to specify information relevant to the main content. Change the widths as you like, only remember that it should add up to 100% in total:

Example

/* Left and right column */
.column.side width: 25%;
>

/* Middle column */
.column.middle width: 50%;
>

/* Responsive layout — makes the three columns stack on top of each other instead of next to each other */
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) .column.side, .column.middle width: 100%;
>
>

Side

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Main Content

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas sit amet pretium urna. Vivamus venenatis velit nec neque ultricies, eget elementum magna tristique. Quisque vehicula, risus eget aliquam placerat, purus leo tincidunt eros, eget luctus quam orci in velit. Praesent scelerisque tortor sed accumsan convallis.

Side

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Footer

The footer is placed at the bottom of your page. It often contains information like copyright and contact info:

Example

Responsive Website Layout

By using some of the CSS code above, we have created a responsive website layout, which varies between two columns and full-width columns depending on screen width:

Animate Header In/Out After Scrolling

Using jquery-waypoints, well be checking to see when data-animate-header (this section) is above the top of screen, then animate data-animate-header (the fixed header) in/out accordingly. We’re able to do this with css transitions and a combo of 3 classes ( .header-past , .header-show , .header-hide ) — without having to clone or do any dom manipulating.
