Create a Card with CSS
On a web page, we can easily create a card like you must have seen on a Team's page. The employee name, and designation is visible with a thumbnail image. With CSS, we can easily a card and also set the hover style using the :hover selector.
Set the Card Image
The <img> element is used to set the image for the card. Place it inside a div −
<div class="card"> <img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/assets/profiles/123055/profile/200_187394-1565938756.jpg"> <div class="designation"> <h3>Amit Diwan</h3> <p>Founder</p> </div> </div>
Set the Card Header and Text
Under the above <div>, create another <div> to set the card header and text −
<div class="Designation"> <h3>Amit Diwan</h3> <p>Founder</p> </div>
Style the Card
The div we have set above for the card will now be styled to make it look professional. For that, we have used the box-shadow property. The max-width is also set to set the exact width −
.card { box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2); width: 40%; max-width: 300px; background-color: rgb(56, 185, 185); }
On Hover
A slightly different style for the shadow is set on hovering over the card −
.card:hover { box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2); }
Style the Card Header and Text
We have also set styles for the card header and text to make it look professional −
.designation { padding: 2px 16px; background-color: rgb(107, 43, 167); color:white; }
Example
To create a card with CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <style> body{ font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; margin:20px; } .card { box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2); width: 40%; max-width: 300px; background-color: rgb(56, 185, 185); } .card:hover { box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2); } .designation { padding: 2px 16px; background-color: rgb(107, 43, 167); color:white; } .card img{ width: 288px; height: 250px; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Card Example</h1> <div class="card"> <img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/assets/profiles/123055/profile/200_187394-1565938756.jpg"> <div class="designation"> <h3>Amit Diwan</h3> <p>Founder</p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
