Building a Clean and Flexible Pricing Grid with Flexbox: Lessons from Wes Bos' Course

Flexbox is a powerful tool for creating responsive and flexible layouts. In this write-up, I'll walk you through how to build a simple yet effective pricing grid using Flexbox. These are lessons I've learned from Wes Bos' free Flexbox course, and this article is my way of recalling and internalizing the lesson.

Creating a Responsive Pricing Grid with Flexbox

The code example I'm about to share demonstrates a pricing grid with three different plans: Beginner, Intermediate, and Pro. Each plan has its own set of features, a price, and a call-to-action button.

To start, we set up a basic structure with three div elements, each representing a pricing plan. By applying display: flex to the parent container, .pricing-grid, we enabled the flex properties that allow us to align and distribute the plans easily across the page.

For a live demo and to interact with the code, check out this:

Conclusion

Flexbox offers a powerful way to create organized and visually appealing layouts with minimal effort. By mastering these properties, you can design layouts that are not only functional but also flexible and easy to maintain. This pricing grid is just one example of how Flexbox can simplify your CSS and make your designs more effective. If you're interested in diving deeper, I highly recommend exploring Wes Bos' free Flexbox course—it's been invaluable in helping me understand and apply these concepts.
