Hi there, I'm very new to HTML / CSS and I'm having a hard time making my page responsive so it scales down correctly when used on smaller devise etc. Hoping someone can give me some pointers on how to fix my code to reflect this?
Thanks heaps in advance. I also need it to be centered in the browser and no matter what i do i cant seem to do it without adjusting margins etc and it seems like a hack rather than standard practice.

Hoping someone can help.

CODE

Hi there, I'm very new to HTML / CSS and I'm having a hard time making my page responsive so it scales down correctly when used on smaller devise etc.

The 466px #wrapper margins are pretty large, resulting in a narrow content column in my desktop browser. Maybe percent values would work better?

I also need it to be centered in the browser and no matter what i do i cant seem to do it without adjusting margins etc and it seems like a hack rather than standard practice.

Using "margin: auto" together with an explicit width is actually recommended by W3C, though it's an old method: https://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/center.en.html#block --Flex is a more modern solution, which doesn't seem to require an explicit width on the centered element.

(I'd generally recommend not using "position: absolute" for this, it can easily break the layout in different window- or font sizes.)
