How To Create a Card

Step 1) Add HTML:

<img src="img_avatar.png" alt="Avatar" style="width:100%">
<div class="container">
<h4><b>John Doe</b></h4>
<p>Architect & Engineer</p>
</div>
</div>

Step 2) Add CSS:

Example

.card {
/* Add shadows to create the "card" effect */
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
transition: 0.3s;
}

/* On mouse-over, add a deeper shadow */
.card:hover {
box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}

/* Add some padding inside the card container */
.container {
padding: 2px 16px;
}
