Having trouble setting up a page layout with CSS grid or grid-template-areas

Hey everyone, I'm a beginner in the world of HTML, CSS, and JS and this is my first time reaching out for help. I've been searching through various forums and spending quite some time on this particular issue, but unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet.

The problem I'm facing involves setting up a homepage using CSS grid. I have attempted to use grid-template-areas along with grid-template-columns & rows separately, but it seems like my code isn't having any impact. I've tried out a few different approaches, but I must be missing something minor that I just can't seem to figure out.

If anyone could take a look at my Codepen link - https://codepen.io/robGit28/pen/BajEdoz?editors=1100 and provide me with some guidance or advice, I would really appreciate it.

I have also included snippets of my CSS and HTML code below for reference:

Answer №1

Upon initial inspection, three issues stand out immediately. It's possible that there are more lurking.

  1. A potential problem lies in the header area within the grid-template-areas. The name header needs to be defined with header { grid-area: header }.

    Additional insights can be found here: Why are CSS named grid areas not in quotes?

  1. The sidebar grid area is set with position: fixed, which removes it from the document's normal flow. As a result, most grid properties do not affect this element.

    More details available at: Centering absolutely positioned element in CSS Grid

  1. The .sub-heading element is nested inside the main element, which is a grid item. Grid properties apply strictly between parent and child elements. Consequently, as a grandchild of the container, .sub-heading disregards the grid commands.
