Currently I am trying to get my columns to center using flexbox but it is sticking to the left when I resize the browser. I have tried justify content center and align-items center but I may not be putting them in the right places. If anyone knows how to fix this that would be much appreciated! Thank you!

display:flex;

@media (max-width: 800px) {

flex-direction: column;
}
}

You need to use the justify-content property to center flex items along the main axis. Its default value is flex-start which aligns all the items inside the flex container to the beginning of the main axis. If you want to center the items you need to use it with the center value.
To center our box we use the align-items property to align our item on the cross axis, which in this case is the block axis running vertically. We use justify-content to align the item on the main axis, which in this case is the inline axis running horizontally.
The flex-wrap CSS property sets whether flex items are forced onto one line or can wrap onto multiple lines. If wrapping is allowed, it sets the direction that lines are stacked.
For centering the stacked columns on the mobile view use align-items: center
on main
. For the desktop view, you can collapse the columns by specifying flex: 0 auto
. This indicates that the item should not be allowed to grow and should use an automatic width. Then you add justify-content: center
to main
to center the collapsed columns.
