Module capstone: full responsive layout

Putting B2 together

Build a complete page layout using ONLY flexbox. The page has:

  • A header with logo (left) and login link (right).
  • A main content area that's a sidebar + main split.
  • A footer with 3 navigation columns side-by-side.

Each section uses a different flex pattern from this module:

  1. Header β€” justify-content: space-between (lesson 5).
  2. Layout β€” fixed sidebar + flex: 1 main (lesson 9).
  3. Card row in main β€” flex-wrap + gap (lessons 7-8).
  4. Footer β€” three equal columns with flex: 1 each.

This is the kind of layout every SaaS dashboard ships. After you can build this from scratch, flexbox is muscle memory.
