Layout Example CSS - Float, Display, Clear, Overflow properties

Up until recently the main way that designers laid out their html web pages was using the float properties.
Although the float has now competition in terms of flexbox and grid, the float property along with it's cronies are essential to know for any web designer.
One thing that float is dependent on is the document flow. Generally float works from left to right and top to bottom. This means the html elements need to be laid out according to this flow. Otherwise we get different div sections showing up in the wrong places.
This tutorial starts with a wireframe diagram that shows what destination we are aiming for. It then moves through a step by step build up to a solid layout that has some responsiveness.

I'm so glad content like this exists. I'm struggling with learning CSS and floats right now and sometimes just seeing someone else's approach to basic stuff like this is very helpful. Thank you.

An excellent tutorial on Float layout. I would have created the <aside> as a single element with three separate <article> contents.

Interesting. I'm a WordPress developer using visual builders and learning html and CSS on the fly to hopefully problem solve issues. I know it's probably not the best route but visual builders are certainly the fastest way to get up and running. Purists would maybe argue for bloated code but builder are getting better OXYGEN a prime example. Would be interesting to know if purist coders start with blank html and css style sheets?
