Three Column Website Layout in CSS

Now let's make a three-column layout. Here's an example of what we should get:

First, let's write the structure of the site:

<div id="wrapper">
	<div id="header">
		header
	</div>
	<div id="container">
		<div id="left">
			left sidebar
		</div>
		<div id="content">
			content
		</div>
		<div id="right">
			right sidebar
		</div>
	</div>
	<div id="footer">
		footer
	</div>
</div>

Let's set the width of the wrapper and center it:

#wrapper {
	width: 1100px;
	margin: 30px auto;
	border: 1px solid black;
}

Let's put the container blocks in a row:

#container {
	display: flex;
}

Now let's assign the widths of the blocks so that in total they give the width of the wrapper:

#content {
	width: 700px;
}
#left {
	width: 200px;
}
#right {
	width: 200px;
}

Let's now add marginы, pinching their width from the content:

#content {
	width: 660px;
}
#left {
	width: 200px;
	margin-right: 20px;
}
#right {
	width: 200px;
	margin-left: 20px;
}

Let's add the rest of the styles:

#content {
	width: 660px;
	height: 700px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#left {
	width: 200px;
	margin-right: 20px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#right {
	width: 200px;
	margin-left: 20px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}

Let's write the final code:

<div id="wrapper">
	<div id="header">
		header
	</div>
	<div id="container">
		<div id="left">
			left sidebar
		</div>
		<div id="content">
			content
		</div>
		<div id="right">
			right sidebar
		</div>
	</div>
	<div id="footer">
		footer
	</div>
</div>

* {
	box-sizing: border-box;
}

#wrapper {
	width: 1100px;
	margin: 30px auto;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#header {
	height: 200px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#container {
	display: flex;
}
#content {
	width: 660px;
	height: 700px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#left {
	width: 200px;
	margin-right: 20px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#right {
	width: 200px;
	margin-left: 20px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
#footer {
	height: 200px;
	padding: 20px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
