**Course Title:** Modern CSS: Responsive Design and Advanced Techniques **Section Title:** Responsive Design with Media Queries **Topic:** Develop a responsive webpage that adapts to different screen sizes using media queries. **Lab Objective:** In this lab, you will develop a responsive webpage that adapts to different screen sizes using media queries. You will apply the concepts learned in the previous topics to create a fully functional and responsive webpage. **Prerequisites:** Before starting this lab, ensure you have completed the following topics: * Introduction to CSS and Styling Basics * The Box Model and Layout Fundamentals * Responsive Design with Media Queries (up to Breakpoints and designing for different screen sizes) **Step 1: Plan Your Responsive Webpage** Before starting to write code, take some time to plan your responsive webpage. Consider the following: * What is the purpose of your webpage? * What content will you include? * What are the different screen sizes you want to support? * What layouts will you use for each screen size? Create a simple wireframe or sketch of your webpage design, considering the different screen sizes you want to support. **Step 2: Set Up Your HTML Structure** Create a new HTML file for your responsive webpage and add the following basic structure: ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Responsive Webpage</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> </head> <body> <!-- Your content here --> </body> </html> ``` **Step 3: Define Your Media Queries** In your CSS file (styles.css), define the media queries for the different screen sizes you want to support. For example: ```css /* Mobile devices (max-width: 480px) */ @media only screen and (max-width: 480px) { /* Styles for mobile devices */ } /* Tablets (min-width: 481px and max-width: 768px) */ @media only screen and (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 768px) { /* Styles for tablets */ } /* Desktop devices (min-width: 769px) */ @media only screen and (min-width: 769px) { /* Styles for desktop devices */ } ``` **Step 4: Write Your CSS Styles** Inside each media query block, write the CSS styles for the corresponding screen size. For example: ```css /* Mobile devices (max-width: 480px) */ @media only screen and (max-width: 480px) { body { font-size: 16px; background-color: #f2f2f2; } header { padding: 10px; text-align: center; } main { margin: 10px; padding: 20px; } } /* Tablets (min-width: 481px and max-width: 768px) */ @media only screen and (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 768px) { body { font-size: 18px; background-color: #e2e2e2; } header { padding: 20px; text-align: left; } main { margin: 20px; padding: 30px; } } /* Desktop devices (min-width: 769px) */ @media only screen and (min-width: 769px) { body { font-size: 20px; background-color: #d2d2d2; } header { padding: 30px; text-align: left; } main { margin: 30px; padding: 40px; } } ``` **Step 5: Add Your Content** Add your content inside the `<body>` tag of your HTML file. For example: ```html <header> <h1>Responsive Webpage</h1> </header> <main> <section> <h2>Section 1</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sit amet nulla auctor, vestibulum magna sed, convallis ex.</p> </section> <section> <h2>Section 2</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sit amet nulla auctor, vestibulum magna sed, convallis ex.</p> </section> </main> ``` **Step 6: Test Your Webpage** Test your responsive webpage on different screen sizes to ensure it adapts correctly. You can use the browser's developer tools to simulate different screen sizes or use online tools like [ Responsinator](https://www.responsinator.com/) or [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/). **Conclusion:** In this lab, you developed a responsive webpage that adapts to different screen sizes using media queries. You applied the concepts learned in the previous topics to create a fully functional and responsive webpage. Practice and experimentation are key to mastering responsive web design. Keep exploring and learning to improve your skills. **Additional Resources:** * [MDN Web Docs: Media Queries](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries) * [W3Schools: CSS Media Queries](https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_mediaqueries.asp) * [Smashing Magazine: Responsive Web Design](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/01/guidelines-for-responsive-web-design/) **We'd love to hear from you!** Have you completed this lab?
