Bootstrap Grid - Small Devices


Bootstrap Grid Example: Small Devices

Assume we have a simple layout with two columns. We want the columns to be split 25%/75% for small devices.

Tip: Small devices are defined as having a screen width from 768 pixels to 991 pixels.

For small devices we will use the .col-sm-* classes.

We will add the following classes to our two columns:

<div class="col-sm-3">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">....</div>

Now Bootstrap is going to say "at the small size, look for classes with -sm- in them and use those".

The following example will result in a 25%/75% split on small devices:

Example

<div class="container-fluid">
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3" style="background-color:lavender;">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
      incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
      <p>Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut
      aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-9" style="background-color:lavenderblush;">
      <p>Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium
      doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore
      veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Note Note: Make sure that the sum always adds up to 12.
