Bootstrap Grid System Example: Stacked to Horizontal

Let's look at a grid example with a simple layout: containing two columns, each with two paragraphs. (Here, styles are defined for each column separately, but you can avoid doing this.)

Example

<div class="container">
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>

    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-6" style="background-color: #dedef8; box-shadow: inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">
            <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do 
            eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut 
            enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris 
            nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. 
            </p>

            <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 class="col-md-6" style="background-color: #dedef8; box-shadow: inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">
            <p>Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem 
            accusantium doloremque laudantium.
            </p>

            <p> Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, 
            consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi 
            tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat 
            voluptatem. 
            </p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The result is as follows:

• The <div class="container">...</div> element is added to ensure centering and maximum width.

• Once the container is added, you need to consider rows. Add <div class="row">...</div> and within it, add columns <div class="col-md-6"></div>.

• Each row in the grid consists of 12 units, and you can use these units to define the size of the columns. In our example, there are two columns, each consisting of 6 units, i.e., 6+6=12.

You can try other options such as <div class="col-md-3"></div> and <div class="col-md-9"></div> or <div class="col-md-7"></div> and <div class="col-md-5"></div>.

You can experiment with these, but make sure the total always adds up to 12.
