Styling Common Web Page Parts
Design "cards" – boxes holding content.
Skill ID: StylingCommonParts_16
Description: Create rectangular containers for bits of information.
Where to apply: Previews of blog posts, product items in a shop, user profiles.
Key Tailwind Classes:
bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md p-4
Gotcha:
Overuse of very dark or large shadows can make the UI look heavy or cluttered. Inconsistent padding (
p-*
) within different cards can also make the layout look messy.
Live Example:
Informational Card
This card uses
bg-white
for its background,
rounded-lg
for soft corners,
shadow-md
for a subtle lift, and
p-4
for internal spacing. These classes combine to create a common UI pattern for displaying content blocks.
The live example above directly applies the classes:
bg-white
,
rounded-lg
,
shadow-md
, and
p-4
.
