How To Create Help Section for Your Website Using HTML & CSS

Hello Friends,

Welcome to yet another HTML & CSS Project. In this tutorial we will learn how to create Help section to the website using HTML and CSS. So lets get started...

Project setup:

make a folder helpSection (I created it on my desktop you can create it wherever you want)
Here we are gonna need 2 files index.html and styles.css;
As this is a small tutorial i will not creating separate folder i will dump everything in the helpSection folder...

I will now open my project in VS code., You can use your favorite code editor of your choice doesn't matter what you use.

in the index.html i will create a container and in that container we will have a image section and info section and add classes to it so that we can style them later on.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Help Section</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <main>
        <section class="container">
          <section class="img-section">
          </section>
          <section class="info"> 
          </section>
        </section>
      </main>
</body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

now lets style our container and I would also like to add google fonts default fonts are so boring😜😜 Just kidding, I personally like to use google fonts in all my projects its not a must though it just depends on someone's personal preferences.

To import google fonts to in our project open sytles.css file and use @import url();

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Akshar:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap');

let's also reset the default padding and margin and set the font-family what we just imported

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Akshar:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap');
*{
  margin: 0;
  padding:0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
 font-family: 'Akshar', sans-serif;
  transition: all 200ms ease-in;

}
body{
  padding:20px;
  margin: auto;
}
section.container{
  margin: auto;
  margin-top: 50px;
  min-width: 500px;
  width: 80%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center; 
  align-items: center;
  gap: 40px;
  border-radius: 20px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
  padding: 20px;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

the output should look something like this:

Help section container without added content

Now lets comeback to our index.html and add the contents to our sections;

<section class="img-section">
        <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/7YZF63WQ/help-banner.png" alt="help image" />
      </section>
      <section class="info">
        <h3>NEED HELP?</h3>
        <p class="text1">We’re committed to serving you with the best possible support.</p>

        <p class="text2">CALL OUR TOLL FREE HELPLINE</p>
        <h3 class="head2">1800 000 4321</h3>
        <hr />
        <h3>VISIT US</h3>
        <p class="text3">Find our branch near you 
           <button>Click Here</button>
        </p>
      </section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

now that we have added the contents to our HTML let us now add some styles; Open styles.css and add the following code.,

section.info{
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 20px;

}
section.info h3{
  font-size: 30px;
  font-weight: 500;
}
section.info p.text1{
  margin-top: -10px;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: 500;
}
section.info p.text2{
  letter-spacing: 0.25px;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-top: 10px;
}
section.info h3.head2{
  margin-top: -18px;
  letter-spacing: 1px;
  font-weight: 600;
  font-size: 1.75em;
}
section.info p.text3{
  margin-top: -15px;
  font-size: 1.25em;
}
section.info p.text3 button{
  padding: 5px 10px;
  border-radius: 8px;
  outline: none;
  border: none;
  background: brown;
  color: #fff;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-weight: 300;
  letter-spacing: 0.15em;
  cursor: pointer;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

the output should look like below image:

Help Section

it looks almost similar to the final project i intend to make..

But there is one thing here, its not responsive. Let's add a media query to make it responsive for the small screen sizes.

Open style.css

@media screen and (max-width:900px){
  section.container{
    width:80%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
  } 
  section.container section.img-section{
    text-align: center;
  }
  section.container section.img-section img{
    width: 100%;


  }
}
@media screen and (max-width: 480px){
  section.container{
    width: 100%;
  }
  section.container section.img-section img{
    padding: 0;    
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;

  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Our page should look like this in the smaller screens...

Help section responsive

That's all for today!
