Need to design 8 boxes in two rows

Question

How to design 8 boxes like following using bootstrap?

• Please ignore the colors each box would be similar to a visit card.
• They should only be 8 boxes in two rows.
• With specific margins to the right and left in big screens and no margin in small screens. So in tablet should be 2 and in mobile version only 1 per row. Also need to make sure the size of boxes are all in the same size.

Answer 1

I know the question was about Bootstrap, but I thought it would be helpful for people to see it done with just html and css. I hate seeing people work real hard to make ugly solutions with Bootstrap, when this so basic if you didn't use Bootstrap.

CODEPEN

HTML:
just a list of business cards

<ul>
    <li>
      <img src="http://lorempixel.com/50/50/sports/" alt="John Doe"/>
      <span class="content">
        <strong>Johnny Realestate</strong>
        <a href="mailto:[email protected]" title="Email Johnny">[email protected]</a> 
        <a href="tel:2223334444" title="Call Johnny">222.333.4444</a> 
        <address>
          1 Real Estate Court<br>
          suite 101<br>
          Real, AZ 10101
        </address>
      </span>
    </li>
    ... REPEAT
  </ul>

CSS:

• mobile first
• display:flex;
• 0 to 599px => mobile layout |=| 1 item across
• 599px to 1024px => tablet layout |=|=| 2 items across

• 1024px and greater => desktop layout |=|=|=|=| 4 items across

  ul {
    list-style:none;
    display:flex;
    -webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
    -ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    max-width:1024px; // should match the page width, this value is also reflected in the media queries
    width:100%;
    margin: 0 auto; // auto can be replaced with any value
    padding: 1em 0;
    background: orange;
  }
  ul li {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0 0 1em 0;
    box-shadow:0px 0px 1px 1px black;
    background: white;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: flex;
  }
  ul li img {
    height:50px;
    width: 50px;
    margin: 0 5px 0 0;
  }
  ul li span {
    width: calc(100% - 55px);
  }
  @media (min-width:599px){
    ul li {
      width: 49%;
      margin: 0 2% 1em 0;
    }
  }
  @media (min-width:599px) and (max-width:1024px){
    ul li:nth-child(2n + 2){
      margin: 0 0 1em 0;
    }
  }
  @media (min-width:1024px){
    ul li {
      width: 24%;
      margin: 0 1.3333333333% 1em 0;
    }
    ul li:nth-child(4n + 4){
      margin: 0 0 1em 0;
    }
  }
  

There are lots of ways to optimize this example or tweak it to reach your goals. I hope this helps.

[UPDATE] I added the prefixes for display:flex; and flex-wrap: wrap;, but if you can, you should add AutoPrefixer to your workflow!

Answer 2

My understanding from your question is that you want the container margin-left and right to be removed on smaller screens, so the cards touch the edge of the screen.

The demo below has the 8 cards in two rows. I have added some padding and margin to even up the spacing of the cards, the nth-child rule is used to apply that to the correct card.

If you want to keep the left and right margin, you can just exclude my media queries.

DEMO HERE

.card-row {
  background: lightsalmon;
}

.card .inner {
  height: 100px;
  padding: 10px;
  background: whitesmoke;
  color: grey;
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  margin: 15px 0;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 991px) {
  .container {
    width: 100%;
  }
  .card:nth-child(odd) {
    background: orange;
    padding-left: 0;
  }
  .card:nth-child(even) {
    background: darkorange;
    padding-right: 0;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  .card:nth-child(odd), .card:nth-child(even) {
    background: coral;
    padding: 0;
  }
}

I have also added some background-color - but you can remove that it's just to help you see the breakpoints and changes when you resize the browser.
