So I've been trying to make myself a personal portfolio, however I've run into issues regarding that. Whenever I try to resize my image using the width thing in CSS3, my image does not respond. I've tried resizing it to 25%, 50%, 75%, and nothing works!
Here's my code:
body {
margin: 0px;
background-color: white;
}
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}
/*Nav Styles*/
.brand {
font-family: 'Titillium Web';font-size: 15px;
}
.nav-wrapper {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
padding: 38px;
}
.left-side {
display:flex;
}
.nav-wrapper > .left-side > div {
margin-right: 20px;
font-size: 0.9em;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.nav-link-wrapper {
font-family: 'Titillium Web';font-size: 15px;
height: 22px;
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
transition: border-bottom 0.5s;
}
.nav-link-wrapper a {
color: #8a8a8a;
text-decoration: none;
transition: color 0.5s
}
.nav-link-wrapper:hover {
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
.nav-link-wrapper a:hover {
color:black
}
/*About Page Styles*/
.profile-image-wrapper {
text-align: center;
width: 50%;
}
.profile-content-wrapper {
padding: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
.profile-content-wrapper h1 {
color: black;
font-family: 'Titillium Web';font-size: 22px;
}
.profile-content-wrapper p {

My image called mika.png is in a class called profile-image-wrapper, and also does not respond to the text-align: center; thing.
I have tried in-line style coding, which works to an extent (however I prefer to not have to use in-line style so I can create a media query later), and I have used the !important attribute for CSS which only works for text-align and not the width.
To make your image responsive you should give it a max-width: 100% right now it follows the width of the container and it stays inside of it. So add this new piece of code.
.profile-image-wrapper img {
max-width: 100%;
}
now the image fills 50% of the width as you wanted to do. Now if you want your image to be in the middle with 50% width just add margin: 0 auto; to the image wrapper and you should be good to go.
.profile-image-wrapper {
text-align: center;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
if you want the image to be fill width you can remove the width 50% from the wrapper.
with 50% width applied to the wrapper
without the 50% width on the wrapper, it would look something like this.
Note that in both cases the image is responsive duo to the fact you added max-width:100% to the img tag.
That's not what you are looking for? please let me know and show me a screenshot of the desired output.
Try it:
.profile-image-wrapper img{
width:15%
}
Please set margin: 0 auto; for .profile-image-wrapper selector to make center horizontally.
Please set display: inline-block; CSS in .profile-image-wrapper img selector

I have tried for hours to find out why the h1 goes beyond the limits of its parent.
I am trying to keep h1 in two lines of (responsive) text. When you grow the window it goes above the 1600px limit placed on the body.
No matter if I try max-width, overflow, etc that it keeps getting out the box.
Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong? Im trying to figure out how to stop the h1 to go beyond the above limit.

It is the white-space: nowrap; which prevents your span to break your lines when the content is filled in the parent. Remove that and your code will work fine

If you want your title to return to the line you have to put wrap like this
white-space: wrap;
Like the others have said you need to remove the "white-space", this will cause the text to go in to two lines. If you want to prevent this behavior you will have to change the font-size to be smaller.
After that, remove the margin from ".uno". This will ensure that the h1 element remains in the div. The margin currently pushes it out the div no matter the size of the child, even if the text is responsive.
Another recommendation beyond what you're looking for, instead of wrapping two spans in a single "h1", remove the h1, and replace the two spans with 1 "h1" element and the other with a "h2" or whatever subheader element depending on the size you want. If you are trying to modify the positions of elements(center, left, right) instead of margins I recommend looking into flexbox.
.uno {
border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000;
max-width: 1600px;
position: relative;
}
.title_part {
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div class="fulltitle">
<h1 class="title_part" style="display: block; font-size: 5vw;";>stills & moving image</h1>
<h2 class="title_part" style="display: block; font-size: 3vw; text-align: center; ">TECHNICAL PRODUCTION</h2>
</div>
My bad for the formatting, I'm still learning how to post answers on stackoverflow.
I have found that:
(index.html)
font-size placed in span is making it grow endlessly because of the vw.
(style.css)
clamp will make it responsive the way I want to, with a max-limit to whatever I want in the final layout.
Posting what I get as soon as I have it ready
Below what I accept as a solution to the issue I was having with h1.
It does not jump to a new line once I changed the units applied on index.html / .uno / span you can see applied on the very first post, and some tweaking on the css that you can see hereunder.
I did not need white-space.
I welcome any feedback to fine tune it.

If I want to change the background color of my text inside the parallax scrolling effect there's a white bar on top of it. I tried changing every color that I wrote down but it didn't disappeared. You can see the white bar here. Do I need to change a color in CSS or do I need to need to create a new div?

you should add a class instead of adding style attribute
It appears to be the <h1> tag's default margin sticking out the top. Try clearing the margin with
h1 {margin: 0;}
If you do need some gray space above the <h1> you could add padding instead.
Set margin: 0; on your h1 element.

You have to understant first the usage of html objects, I'd recommend you to take first a quick tutorial and be aware of the typos, this will make your development much easier. For your problem...
This site may help you with your specific problem: https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_figcaption.asp
This page is extremely useful for begginers and has a lot of tutorials.
Also I'd suggest to use classes instead of id's and make them reusable; for example:
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
.title {
text-align: center;
color: #643F37;
font-family: Arial;
}
.subtitle {
color: #643F37;
font-family: arial;
}
.image {
height: 1000px;
width: auto;
display: block;
margin: 0px auto;
}
.main {
background: hsl(0, 1%, 90%);
font-family: times new roman;
font-size: 40px;
align-items: center;
}
figcaption {
font-style: italic;
padding: 2px;
text-align: center;

Steps to an HTML Image Caption
Add an image to your webpage.
In the HTML for your webpage, place a div tag around the image:
Add a style attribute to the div tag:
Set the width of the div to the same width as the image, with the width style property:
Here I'm creating a button but for some odd reason the text is a little off and isn't centered even though I have used display: block; and text-align: center; inside my css file.
Line 30 is where my button starts here is my html and custom css code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
<script src="bootstrap/js/jquery-2.2.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<body>
<div class="bg1">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<img class="lgsize" src="logo.gif" alt="Logo">

And here is my css on line 39 is where the code for my button is
.title {

font-weight: 800;
font-size: 500%;

display: block;
text-align: center;

}
.subtext {

.button {
width: 82.61px;
height: 37.65px;
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: white;
font-weight: 700px;
box-shadow: 0px .2em 0px 0px #ebebeb;
display: block;
text-align: center;
background-position: center;
border: none;
margin: auto;
font-family: 'Bree Serif', serif;
}
.buttonpad {
padding-top: 10px;
}
Thank you very much ! Also if you haven't noticed I'm using Bootstrap for my grid.
For centering horizontal, change your markup to this and you should be fine
<div class="button"><span>Explore</span></div>
When breaking line using an inline element, that line break cause a white space at the end pushing the text slightly to the left
For centering vertical, use line height, like this
.button {
width: 82.61px;
height: 37.65px;
line-height: 37.65px; /* added property */
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: white;
font-weight: 700px;
box-shadow: 0px .2em 0px 0px #ebebeb;
display: block;
text-align: center;
background-position: center;
border: none;
margin: auto;
font-family: 'Bree Serif', serif;
}
Try to use padding like this;
padding: 6px 12px;
OR
.button{
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 400;
line-height: 1.42857;
padding: 6px 12px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
white-space: nowrap;
}
One simple fix is to use line-height as the height of the containing div, as in this jsfiddle :
.button span
{
display: block;
line-height: 37px;
}

Or you could also use negative margin and absolute positionning, but it would be slightly less flexible.
Why are you using div as button, use html button for hyperlink and css looks fine
<input type="submit" value="Explore">
I am trying to add a button to my simple web page. The button itself looks great, but I am not quite sure how to position it. I would like for it to be centered and positioned below the main text. It currently sits off to the left side. Any idea on how to do so?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You don't necessarily need a container. Try the following:
.button {
background-color: #3b3d45;
border: 6px solid #fff080;
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 15px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
width: 62px;
}
Auto margins don't apply to inline-block elements.
You can add a container to the buttons and align them to center . see example below
also when you are trying to create a style . try to make them reusable as they can be. One advantage of this is you can write lesser css.
#logo {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
padding: 10em 0 0.2em 0;
font-family: lato;
}
#sub {
color: #fff;
font-family: lato;
text-align: center;
word-spacing: 5em;
}
.button {
background-color: #3b3d45;
border: 6px solid #fff080;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 15px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: #707488;
}
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
<div class id="logo">
<h1>ERIK SPIEKERMANN</h1>
</div>
<div class id="sub">
<p>Designer Typographer Entrepreneur </p>
</div>
<div class="text-center">

</div>
Try putting the Button in a <div> and make text-align:center
<div class="btnContainer ">
Learn More
</div>
<style>
.btnContainer {
text-align:center;
}
</style>
Without extra markup adding the following rules to .button will do the trick
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="spiekermann.css">
<title></title>
<style>
#logo {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
padding: 10em 0 0.2em 0;
font-family: lato;
}
#sub {
color: #fff;
font-family: lato;
text-align: center;
word-spacing: 5em;
}
.button {
background-color: #3b3d45;
border: 6px solid #fff080;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 15px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
margin: auto;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: #707488;
}
#button {
text-align: center;
}
</style>
