Use CSS Grid to Build Consistent Course Cards

Define the card content

Decide which elements every card needs: image, title, description, and a destination link. Use the same source order for each item. Test both short and long titles. Content variations reveal whether the layout is flexible or relies on all cards containing an identical amount of text.

Let the container arrange columns

Use a grid on the parent to define columns and gaps, rather than manually positioning individual cards. Give columns room to shrink without overflowing. Choose when the layout should reduce its column count by reviewing the actual content at narrower widths, not just a device list.

Handle images and vertical space

Choose a consistent image ratio and decide whether cropping is acceptable for the subject. Avoid cutting essential text or faces out of artwork. Within a card, allow the description area to grow so links can sit consistently near the bottom without fixed heights that clip longer content.

Test content changes

Add a longer description, increase text size, and temporarily remove an image. Check that card order stays predictable and links remain visible. Inspect the space between rows as well as columns. Include these variations in your review so later content updates do not immediately break the composition.
