#### Before starting:

- Download the starter files [from here]((https://www.frontendmentor.io/challenges/base-apparel-coming-soon-page-5d46b47f8db8a7063f9331a0)) 
- Open the starter files on your code editor. 
- Create a style.css file and link it to the HTML file 
- And check out the style-guide.md file 

### Part 1: HTML

```html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <!-- displays site properly based on user's device -->

    <link
      rel="icon"
      type="image/png"
      sizes="32x32"
      href="./images/favicon-32x32.png"
    />

    <title>Frontend Mentor | Base Apparel coming soon page</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <main class="container">
      <section class="left">
        <div class="inner">
          <img src="./images/logo.svg" alt="logo" class="logo" />
            <img src="./images/hero-mobile.jpg" alt="hero-mobile" class="mobile-hero">  
          <h1><span>We're</span> coming soon</h1>
          <p>
            Hello fellow shoppers! We're currently building our new fashion store.
            Add your email below to stay up-to-date with announcements and our
            launch deals.
          </p>
          <form>
            <input type="email" placeholder="Email Address" />
            <button><img src="./images/icon-arrow.svg" alt="" /></button>
          </form>          
        </div> 
      </section>
      <section class="right desktop-hero"></section>
    </main>
  </body>
</html>

```
This is the HTML, copy and paste it. And scan through it once, so that you know what we will be styling. 

### Part 2: CSS

```css
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Josefin+Sans:wght@300;400;600&display=swap');

* {
    box-sizing: border-box; 
}

body {
    font-family: 'Josefin Sans', sans-serif; 
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0; 
}
```
First, we imported the font from google fonts. Then added a box-sizing border-box to every element so the border and padding stay inside the width.  
After that, we added the font to the body and removed margin and padding. 



```css
/* main style */
.container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center; 
    align-items: center; 
    height: 100vh; 
}

.left {
    width: 60%; 
}

/* right */
.desktop-hero {
    background: url("./images/hero-desktop.jpg") center no-repeat; 
    background-size: cover; 
    width: 40%; 
    height: 100vh; 
}
```
Here, we centred the container with flex box. Then, gave the left section width of 60% and right section width of 40%. 
And added the background image to the right section. 


![screencapture-127-0-0-1-5500-index-html-2021-10-08-18_12_47.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1633738415014/DMHKA06IJ.png)


```CSS
.inner {
    width: 70%;  
    margin: 0 auto; 
}

.logo {
    width: 200px; 
}

.mobile-hero {
    display: none; 
}

h1 {
    font-size: 4.5rem;
    text-transform: uppercase; 
    letter-spacing: 5px;
    color: hsl(0, 6%, 24%); 
    margin-bottom: 0; 
}

h1 span {
    font-weight: 300;    
    color: hsl(0, 36%, 70%); 
}

p {
    line-height: 1.8; 
    color: hsl(0, 36%, 70%);  
}

form {
    position: relative; 
}

input {
    width: 100%; 
    padding: 1rem 1.5rem; 
    outline: none; 
    border: 2px solid hsl(0, 36%, 70%); 
    border-radius: 5rem;
    font-size: .9rem;  
}

input::placeholder {
	color: hsl(0, 36%, 70%);
}

button {
    position: absolute; 
    top: 0; 
    right: 0;  
    height: 100%; 
    padding: .5rem 2rem;
    border-radius: 5rem;
    border: 2px solid hsl(0, 36%, 70%); 
    background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, hsl(0, 80%, 86%), hsl(0, 74%, 74%) ); 
}
```


In this part, we removed the mobile-hero, so it just shows up on mobile. After that, we styled the title, paragraph, and form. 


![screencapture-127-0-0-1-5500-index-html-2021-10-08-18_16_30.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1633738630615/SDXmWCUnp.png)


```css
@media screen and (max-width:900px) {
    .container {
        height: auto; 
        margin: auto;
    }

    .left {
        width: 100%; 
    }

    .inner {
        width: 100%;  
        margin: auto; 
    }

    h1 {
        font-size: 3.5rem; 
        text-align: center;
    } 

    p, form {
        margin: 20px 40px;
        text-align: center;  
    }

    .logo {
        margin: 20px; 
        text-align: left;   
    }

    .desktop-hero {
        display: none; 
    }

    .mobile-hero {
         display: block;  
         width: 100%; 
    }
}
```

This is the mobile design. In here we removed the fixed height of the container. And made the title and paragraph a little smaller. 
And removed the desktop hero and inserted the mobile hero.
