I want my website to fit the screen height, though there's too less content

More specific I want the content section (the section with the white background) fill the mising space, so the header and footer have it's own fixed size and the content section is as big as it takes to fill/fit the full height.

justify-content:center doesn't work

What I'm trying to do is to center the text (and image that will be side by side or on top of the text) but the command justify-content:center doesn't work for me. It centers horizontally but not vertically. Could you tell me what went wrong? I'm actually a beginner and that's my first website.

.wrapper, which is your flex container, doesn't have a height setting. Add height: 100%; to it and the vertical centering works. However, the parent of .wrapper (i.e. .content) has height: 100vh - if its content grows beyond that, it will be a mess (i.e. overlapping), so you might want to change its height setting to min-height instead of height

It's because .wrapper is only as tall as the content inside of it, without a declared height that exceeds the content height. So there is no room for it to vertically center without a height that exceeds the content height. Adding height: 100vh; to .wrapper will force that.
what's up with the downvotes?

Place a div in bottom right corner inside a column

I'm trying to align a div at the bottom right corner inside a specific column, but all instead it aligns at the bottom right corner of the main parent.
https://jsfiddle.net/jonnijonnason/L9vg468g/
If you check the fiddle, I want it to align beneath the image.

Add to <div class="item"> column a position:relative;
The button inside has an absolute position so it is relative to the next parent element with relative (or absolute) positioning.
Also, to make it not overlap the text you can also set padding-bottom
.item.contains-button {
position:relative;
padding-bottom:60px;
}
Your updated JSFiddle
What you need to do is just add Position: relative; to the last column. This will make Read more div to be at bottom right corner of the direct parent DIV instead of the main DIV.

As you have placed other two columns description inside paragraph tag, you can keep third description also inside a paragraph and it can be achievable by using css flexbox if your browser support is IE10 +.

Query about header image. Is the HTML and CSS correct/most efficent way of doing this?

This is how my site looks so far (Note: I'm kinda trying to teach myself how to do the HTML for this site right now. I'll worry about the design later. I know thats now how one should go about designing a site. But whatever)
http://imgur.com/10ZC7
For the header, is this HTML correct/efficient? If not, what is the correct/efficient way to achieve this effect for the header? The header is all one image.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi i have made the some changes in your HTML due to some errors so now its working fine.
And about the header part i have made few changes as mentioned below :-
#bigheader (i have applied here small circles images rather than your heavy large header image placed in header with positing).
#header (i have made the header completely css based use of border-radius & background color.)
You can see your updated HTML here :-
http://jsfiddle.net/KXGfj/23/
Hey you have used one of the css frameworks,. anyways yes i don't know if this is correct of an efficient way but i usually encapsulate the sub header div inside header div..
in your case something like.:
{(bigheader) {(header)}}

Need help adding left and right columns to css layout with 100% height

I have a css layout which is centered, with 100% height. Everything looks good except that I need borders on the left and right side, with background images, that also must extend to 100% height of the page.
I've tried lots of different options but can't seem to get this worked out.
Please take a look at my code and let me know what I can do. Keep in mind everything but the right and left columns is positioned as I need it.
The left and right columns are leftbdr and rightbdr.
Thanks for any assistance.

#container is the key. It takes up the full area of your page. You could apply a background/border style to it and/or <body> to achieve what you want.
For example a repeating image slice on <body> that is centered with repeat-y could give the effect of a graphical border without needing leftbdr and rightbdr.
