Beginner 12 min read Lesson 6 of 300 Challenge included

What you will be able to do

Use card and card-body as the base.
Use img-fluid for responsive images.
Set width and height to reserve space.
Keep the whole card clickable only when the action is unambiguous.

In plain English

A card is a flexible container, not a magical component. Combine card-body, card-title and card-text, and use img-fluid plus explicit dimensions to avoid layout shift. Keep one clear action per card.
